“I was just driving my Chrysler sebring 2000 this afternoon when the brakes failed completely. I was lucky to be in a parking lot when this happened and I don't want to imagine what would have happened on a highway! There was no warning at all, no light coming on, nothing, and the brake pedal just collapsed completely. I will have to take the car to the garage on tuesday. I wanted to know what I can do about that to be sure this does not happen again....it's scary to think that you can drive a car 65 miles an hour with suddenly no brakes at all!! I was just very lucky this time!”
