Consumer Description

I STARTED THE CAR, AND THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. AFTER I DROVE 1/4 MILE, I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY GETTING ONTO THE SHOULDER AND PRESSING THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. IT TOOK ABOUT 100 YARDS TO STOP STARTING AT 35 MPH. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE BRAKES APPEARED TO WORK, AND I DROVE SLOWLY TO MY DESTINATION. WHEN LEAVING THE DESTINATION, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR TWICE, THE BRAKES WORKED, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK. *TR
