SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AFTER VEHICLE WAS WARMED-UP AND DRIVING HOME AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES OF STOP AND GO DRIVING, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION OF PROBLEM. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PLAY OR "BRAKE FEEL". IT WAS AS IF A "BRICK" HAD BEEN PLACED BEHIND THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY "SLIGHTLY ENGAGE" (E.G. IT TOOK ABOUT 500 TO 600 FEET TO STOP FROM 15 MPH AFTER SEVERAL FRUITLESS ATTEMPTS TO "PUMP" THE BRAKES. ALMOST ALL FREE-PLAY WAS GONE FROM THE PEDALS, THE BRAKE "FEEL" WAS ALL GONE & I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES HAD WORKED FLAWLESSLY UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I CHECKED ALL WARNING LIGHTS, FLUID LEVELS AND HYDRAULIC LINES AND CONNECTIONS & UNDER THE DASH (NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE FOUND). THE FLUID IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS CORRECT AND NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. AS MY DEALER IS OUT OF TOWN & THE CAR MUST BE TOWED (BRAKES REMAIN NON-FUNCTIONING) - I AM HAVING A LOCAL REPAIR SERVICE - VISALIA EXPERT TIRE & WHEEL & BRAKE (FIRESTONE DEALER) CHECK THE BRAKES TOMORROW MORNING. FOR THEIR DETERMINATIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL. THANKS!*AK
