Consumer Description

WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED A BEEPING ALARM SOUNDED WITH A WARNING STATING THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE. YELLOW TRIANGLE WITH BLACK EXCLAMATION POINT ALSO WARNING ME NOT TO DRIVE. BRAKES HAD SEVERE GRINDING WHEN TRYING TO MOVE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR. FIRST TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THEN THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A HYDRAULIC PROBLEM BUT THEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A BAD CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. WAITED APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AND CAR STARTS WITH OUT A PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THAT THE BRAKES WILL LOCK OR FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
