Consumer Description

DURING THE LAST MAJOR SNOW STORM I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BRAKE FAILURE AFTER TALKING TO A COWORKER HE SAID THAT SOMETIMES A LOT OF SNOW CAN MESS WITH THE BRAKES. HIS EXPLANATION SEEMED LOGICAL. ON 4/17/10 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STARTED COASTING TOWARDS TRAFFIC THAT JUST STARTED MOVING. MY APPROACH SPEED WAS A LITTLE FASTER BUT BY NO MEANS NOTHING THAT COULDN'T BE STOPPED. WHEN I WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BREAKS DIDN'T WORK. I FELT LIKE I WAS STANDING ON THEM. I TRIED TO MAKE A CORRECTION MANEUVER TO NOT INJURE ANYONE BUT I COULDN'T WITHOUT GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.AND REARENDED SOMEONE. WHO IN INTURN REARENDED SOMEONE (4 CARS TOTAL BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS MOVING). ALL OF THE BRAKE RECALLS WERE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT MY 36,000 MILE SERVICE. THIS WAS THE SAME FEELING I HAD DURING THE SNOW INCIDENT BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY. I AM GLAD THAT EVERYONE IS ALRIGHT BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR
