“I was driving on a residential street in washington, d.c. In my 2003 Hummer h2 when I noticed after a briefly trying to brake for a pedestrian that my brake pedal was not as tight as usual. I continued to drive believing since no warning lights then there's no issue. I came to another stop and realized their is something wrong my brake pedal was very loose and almost to the floor with minimal stopping ability lucky I was now at my home I coasted to my home by now the brakes have blown completely I had to use the emergency brake to stop the truck. Thank god I survived. …”
