I was driving into a bank's teller machine line when i noticed that two brake problem indicator lights came on the dashboard.then, i noticed that my brakes almost completely failed.i had to shift to neutral to stop the car, which took all the foot pressure i could muster.in march, 1999, i took the car into cutter dodge when the brake indicator light cvmae on and the brake became much weaker.i paid more than $431.00 plus tax to have the brakes repaired there, which included replacing brake accumulator assembly.now, 6 months later, the brakes failed much more suddenly and completely.i feel extremely lucky that i was 1) alone in the vehicle, and 2)driving very slowly. I was able to "creep" the car to cutter dodge, 735 dillinham blvd, honolulu, hi (808) 842-6333, where it is now. If i had been driving on a highway or freeway with my family in the car, many people could have been injured or killed.to me, this is an extremely unsafe and dangerous problem.
