Car is leased by my wife. We have both had identical incidents, independendtly. Both times, upon backing from complete stop down drives with some leaf cover, application of brakes resulted in absolutely no braking power, despite pressing very hard on pedal. Car moved six to eight feet before brakes applied. Very frightening. Have noted similar problems in your file, which is the reason search was initiated. Someone standing behind car would have been run over, no question. Will be contacting dealer; wife had the second incident today (first time I was driving and warned her about it- really spooked me). This was not an incident of our feet jumping off a vibrating anti-lock pedal; no vibration was sensed at all. Sensation was exactly like sliding on glare ice (I.e. No brake power at all.) also, we were backing slowly, foot on brake with light application when this happened. If all ABS systems work like this, there would have been countless disasters and no ABS at all by now! Thank you for considering this I
