Brakes failed.
While consumer was driving ABS brakes/master cylinder failed, pedal went to the floor. Had a hard time stopping.
When brakes are applied the pedal goes to the floor. In order for the vehicle to stop, the driver has to stand up on the brakes. When the vehicle finally stops, its pitches forward. The dealer has inspected the vehicle 3-4 times, and informed the owner that the braking system was okay.
Upon making a stop the brake pedal became very difficult to depress, causing extended stopping distance and loss of brake effectivness. In addition, the location and the design of the horn makes it difficult in an emergency to locate and depress the horn. Also, due to the shape of the windshield there is a strong reflection of the front section which is very bad during certain daylight conditions.
