About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Vehicle was traveling approx 25 mph. Approaching intersection low pressure was applied to brakes with the intent to gradually increase pressure in order to come to a smooth stop. Almost immediately after applying light pressure to the brake pedal the brakes failed. The brake pedal was pushed completely to the floor but had no effect resulting in a complete failure and the vehicle entered a busy intersection. A delayed reaction application of the emergency brake gradually slowed the vehicle to a stop. Authorized service center (at place of purchase) stated the master cylinder failed and needed to be replaced.
