“My car all of a sudden stopped on it's own while driving on the expressway. I didn't press the brake pedal or anything. I had to get out of my car in the middle of traffic & wait on a tow. The mechanic shop said that it was very dangerous for the car to do that.”
NHTSA complaint #11160752, filed 2018-12, 102,000 miles“In december of 2016 I was driving my car out of my driveway, and the car would not stop when brakes were applied. This occurred over the course of 3 days, and I took the car to the dealership where it has a service history record. They indicated that the brake booster and the master cylinder were both leaking, and they were going to be replaced. The car was released to me approximately 1 week later. Upon driving the car the next morning at my home the same problem continued to happen. …”
