    We got in the car to leave work and, in the parking lot, noticed that the brakes had gone completely soft. There was a slow hiss when pressure was applied. We were able to drive the car to a shop the next day but it took a lot of pressure, putting the brake pedal to the floor to get the car to stop. This condition came on suddenly and without warning.

    The brake fluid line on the rear brakes was not allowing brake fluid through therefore causing the rear brake pads to continually stay engaged. The outer rim of both rear rotors was completely charred and burnt red along with the surface of the rotor being completely worn and gouged. I was told by the repair shop that i was lucky they did not start a fire from running so hot. The rear rotors, pads and brake fluid…

    Around 8/25/2014 i noticed my breaks making a funny hissing noise when i pushed on the brakes. It seemed to be braking (stopping) fine, but still worried me. I told my husband about it a couple days later and he was unsure of the problem. As days passed, the brakes got weaker and weaker (taking a lot longer to come to a complete stop). I now have to start braking a lot further back than normal to coast into a stop.…
