THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE GOING ABOUT 20MPH AND WANTED TO MAKE A RIGHT SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAD TO USE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND TESTED THE BRAKES BY DRIVING VERY SLOW AND BRAKING. THIS SEEMED TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. TODAY MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS LEAVING THE GAS PUMP AND NEEDED TO BACK UP. AFTER SHE PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. SHE PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WAS STILL UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. SHE HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I INSTRUCTED HER TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND TEST THE BRAKES. THIS AGAIN CLEARED THE PROBLEM.
