Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO REQUIRE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MORE PRESSURE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES THAN THEY HAD EARLIER IN THE DAY. SINCE THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IT HAS STEADILY INCREASED REQUIRING ME TO PUSH MY BRAKES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES WILL ENGAGE. IN A FEW CASES MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO ENGAGE AT ALL REQUIRING ME TO SWERVE OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES IN ORDER TO AVOID CAUSING A WRECK. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TWICE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BRAKES ENGAGING. *TR
