Consumer Description

THE FIRST TIME MY BREAKS WENT OUT I WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE BREAKS BECAME HARD TO PUSH DOWN. IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP DRIVING HOME TO BE TOWED. THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WE WERE DRIVING THIS TIME AND WITH THIS ONE THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD MY BREAK SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NO BREAKS TO STOP. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK ON MAJOR FREEWAYS THAT ARE VERY BUSY IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT AND HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON ONE OF THOSE FREEWAYS, SOMEONE WOULD LIKELY HAVE DIED OR AT THE VERY LEAST BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.
