2000 DODGE DAKOTA — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY I DO NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BECAUSE I HAD TO POWER SHIFT DOWN AND I BARELY MADE THE TURN NOT TO MENTION ALMOST HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE. I WAS JUST ABOUT HOME SO I PROCEEDED DRIVING SLOWLY BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD NO BRAKES ,AND I THEN I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I QUICKLY THEN GOT TO THE HOUSE AND SPRAYED IT DOWN WITH THE HOSE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FIGURING OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND THE LAST THAT I HEARD WAS THE MAIN SWITCH WENT OUT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT NOBODY GOT HURT. (LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHERE THERE WERE PEOPLE).*AK
