Brake failure.

Filed Dec 23, 1997 · Brakes · FL

Abs brakes are subject to intermittent failure, causing extended stopping distance. On other occasions, brakes make grinding sound while making a turn and applying brakes. The pedal sticks when applying the brakes, which means that the pedal goes to the floor, and not allowing the vehicle to stop. This has happened several times.
