Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW 8/2017. HAS APPROX. 7,000MLES. THIS IS THE 3RD OR 4TH SIMILAR INCIDENT BUT THE MOST SEVERE. DRIVING ON I-95, APPROX. 60 MPR, TODAY, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY SEEMED TO LOCK AND ALTHOUGH MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATED IT MAY HAVE BEEN ONLY MY EXPECTATION OF SLOWING DOWN AND THAT WASN'T HAPPENING. THE BRAKE PEDAL ONLY SEEMED TO COMPRESS ABOUT 2-3". LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THE CAR DID STOP. I CONTINUED ON WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT LIKE I SAID THIS WAS THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME AND THE MOST SEVERE.
