IN MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE THE BRAKES HAVE SUDDENLY GONE "SOFT", MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BREAK.

THE DRIVERS OF THE 2 OTHER VEHICLES STOPPED, POLICE CAME, AND A CRASH REPORT WAS ISSUED.

IN THE PREVIOUS 2 OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PROBLEMS, WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST TIME, NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND (DATE COULD BE PROVIDED WITH AUTO RECORDS). THE SECOND TIME (AROUND MAY 2017), IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A
