Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65-70 MPH WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE DUE TO TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS SEVERE BRAKE FADE. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BUT COULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL PUMPS. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I STILL HAD TO TRAVEL ANOTHER 30 MILES BEFORE REACHING MY DESTINATION AND THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAKE PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TO CONTACT A MECHANIC TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *JS
