| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES | AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CONGESTED ROAD, I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. I TRIED PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. AT THAT POINT I AVOIDED A COLLISION BY GOING ON THE MEDIAN AND DOWN SHIFTED. THE CAR, LUCKILY, IS A 5 SPEED. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS A MONTH OR SO BEFORE THAT, SO HE CHECKED TO BE SURE THE LINES WERE BLED CORRECTLY. WHICH THEY WERE. THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE. TODAY WAS THE SCARIEST. IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS GOING 45 IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I TRIED, TOO. THE FRONT END KIND OF HOPPED UP A FEW TIMES AS I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND E BRAKE. AGAIN, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT I DIDN'T HIT HIM. BEING WARY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I STAY FAR BACK FROM OTHER CARS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, I HEAR A WHINING SOUND WHEN THE PEDDLE IS PUMPED AND UNTIL THE PEDDLE COMES BACK ALL THE WAY UP. THIS YEAR SHOULD BE RECALLED, TOO. TALLAHASSEE HAS NO DEALERSHIP, SO MY CLOSET OPTION IS ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY. *TR |
