Brakes fail to engage when braking. Thank god I do not follow closely to vehicles ahead of me. This has been happening for several years. Brought to dealership when this first happened and was told there was nothing wrong with my brakes and there is no recall on the brake system. I will report the last date this happened.
Complete brake failure due to excessive corrosion. I got lucky that I had room to roll out. Upon inspection I noticed that many components show signs of excessive rust.
