“Upon starting the car after a brief stop with no prior indication of brake irregularities, the brake pedal went to the floor. The car was stationary at the time; the brake pedal must be depressed in order to start the car. There was an accompanying burning smell at this time, probably attributable to brake fluid being sprayed onto hot engine/exhaust components. There was no useful partial brake action at this time. The car was towed to jag dealer. No fluid in reservoir, left front brake hose had lost integrity. Dealer replaced brake hose, filled and bled system. …”
