When backing out of garage brakes failed and the pedal went all the way to the floor. Dealer told me there was no brake problems, but could be ABS sensors rusted or had dirt build up. The dealer cleaned ABS sensors and sprayed a rust inhibitor on sensors and hubs, and said they hoped this would solve the problem. If problem persists to come back.

I was very nearly broadsided when my vehicle's anti lock brake sensor failed when attempting to stop at an intersection of a secondary road with a state highway. My vehicle proceeded into the intersection at a very slow rate of speed while my brake was pushed to the floor. I have subsequently discovered that there has been a recall for this problem but that it is limited to selected states and the District of Columbia. I live in the adirondack park in upstate NY where towns use dirt only on its roads. I can't imagine a worst situation for this condition to occur than the combination of salt and dirt (like DC I suppose). How many crashes or fatalities are required in each state on known problems before recalls are expanded?
