Brake Failure. The brake fails occasionally while driving on the streets or on the Highways without Waring. The brake pedal goes down to the floor, and grinding/hitting metal to metal sound is heard and vehicle brake control is lost. Experiences were traumatic; you swing left or right to avoid hitting another vehicle from behind or running a red light. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic, and the brake components: rotors, pads, drum, and fluid levels were ok, each time it occurs. The brake lights come off and on and each time, the mechanic finds no issues with the brake components. One dangerous aspect of these occurrences is that after the vehicle sits for a while, like 30 minutes to one hour, and you go back to driving the vehicle, it appears that the brakes readjust and starts working normally; it continues to work normally about a month, and out of nowhere without warning it fails again and readjusts later. I was about to take my daughter to college out of Cou

WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION AND I GO OVER ANY BUMPS IT PULLS THE BACK END OF CAR MY TO THE SIDE AND BOUNCES AROUND SO MUCH THAT I ALMOST DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF MY CAR.THIS WILL PULL SO MUCH IT TAKE ME TO THE SIDE OF THE LAND IM CURRENTLY IN I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I LOOK OUT FOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MAKE SURE I SLOW DOWN BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CAN KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS CAUSES MY ABS TO TURN ON WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS BECAUSE THE CAR THINK IM NOT IN CONTROL WHICH ALSO CAUSE MORE ISSUES. THIS ALSO CAUSE A RISK AS I HAVE OTHER TRAFFIC DRIVING AROUND ME, I HAVE CHILDREN AND I AM IN CONSTANT WORRY THAT IM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO KEEP CONTROL ESPECIALLY ON A HWY THERE IS NO SLOWING DOWN TO 20MPH ON A HWY. 2ND ISSUE MY DASHBOARD LIGHT CONTINUOUS FLICKER AND THEN GO OUT.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A FREEWAY WHEN TRAFFIC AHEAD CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR AND I DID NOT FEEL THE CAR SLOW AT ALL. THE "BRAKE" DASH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, AND I CONTINUED PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY AND SLOW THE CAR. WHILE I CONTINUED PRESSING THE BRAKES, THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN AND I COULD HEAR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CROSSED SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLY SLOWING TO REACH THE SHOULDER. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TELL HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND REMAINED ON THE SHOULDER WITH THE CAR RUNNING. MY HUSBAND MET ME ON THE SHOULDER AND DROVE THE CAR HOME. HE SAID THAT THE GRINDING SOUND WAS THE ABS ON IN A PERMANENT STATE, AND WOULD ACTIVATE DURING EVERY BRAKING UNLESS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED EXTREMELY LIGHTLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO OUR DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF. SEVERAL HOURS LATER MY HUSBAND DROVE IT

WHILE IN MOTION THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS LOOSE AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKING POWER LOSES FUNCTION, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. I ONLY LEARNED THAT IT WILL RESET ITSELF WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME ON A STREET. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND MOST RECENTLY 1 WEEK AGO.

WHEN I AM DRIVING (PRESSING THE GAS) AN INCONSISTENT RANDOM CLICKING NOISE THAT'S AFFECTING THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND USAGE IS HEARD. IT'S DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE. IN THE PAST, I WOULD SIMPLY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND THE NOISE WOULD STOP. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW TO ANY MECHANIC BECAUSE IT DOES IT RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, THEREFORE IT WOULD NEVER DO IT WHEN NEEDED. I WENT ON BECAUSE IT WASN'T OFTEN AT FIRST. NOW IT'S AT AN EXTREME LEVEL AS IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE AND I COULD BE ON THE HIGHWAY (YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SCARY THAT IS AT HIGH SPEEDS).
