Failure Date: 04/14/2019

On 04/14/2019 while driving, red dash warning lights came on warning of lost braking and to stop. At the same time two separate warning sounds filled the cars cabin. I tried the brakes, no response, I down shifted, and stood both feet on brakes and finally shifted to neutral to come to complete stop. Turned car off warning sign and warning sounds continued after engine was turned off. Opened hood, clicking and wurling sounds were coming from the sbc braking system. Call m/b the following day and had vehicle towed to nearest m/b dealer. Dealer found no faults. Afraid to drive. Dealer will not do any work on car w/o codes to verify problem.
