1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2017

In extreme cold weather the brake pedal is rock hard and will not budge. After warming it up it will work, but intermittently, it will happen while driving. I will go to push the brake pedal and it won't budge and the car keeps going. I nearly crashed the other day. It has happened more than once. It's a very dangerous situation and if anyone were walking in front of my car during the episode, they would be killed. The other day I was able to swerve toward a guard rail instead of hitting the car in front of me. In the mornings I have to let the car warm up because I cannot even press on the hard brake. I'm not alone after researching this. It's not the brakes themselves. They work fine, it is the brake pedal and something mechanical, a valve or hose or something. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm a daughter, a mother, a sister, a grandmother, and a friend. I want to stick around! this happens when the car is stationary and when the car is moving. Luckily it has happened when I was on backroads and the car behind me noticed me having trouble and slowed down. I lost all control.
