Service Brakes · reported Sep 1, 2022
This is the third time while driving that my brakes have simply just gone out. Itâs usually on the freeway while at high speeds and Iâm nearly not able to stop. This is the third time in three years. No lights come on on the dashboard and no warnings happened at all the brakes just simply stopped working. It takes extreme pressure to try to stop and Iâm usually told that itâs some part of the vacuum.
