What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated while driving there was a squealing noise that appeared to be coming from the brakes. During a normal maintenance service, the service dealer determined the squealing noise was normal. On april 4, an appointment was made with the dealer regarding the vehicle's brakes. The dealership determined the vent solenoid had failed internally and the vent solenoid and bracket parts had to be replaced. The contact was told by dealership that until work could be performed the car was driveable.
Coming to a stop to make a left hand turn, light coating of snow on the road made it slippery, ABS braking cycled I held brake pedal down as the manuals say to do with ABS system, truck slowed ABS cycled again and then pedal went to the floor. My vehicle ended up sideways in road and thirty feet from my turn and nearly in a ditch, I then backed up to make my turn and brakes went to the floor again as I stopped to enter my road , fortunately my home was only about 500 yards from this spot.
