WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD(LUCKILY AT 35 MPH) THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I DOWN SHIFTED AND USED THE EBRAKE AND STOPPED SAFELY AND NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE.

THE "AIRBAG" LIGHT FOR DRIVERS SIDE COMES ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. BUT IF THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (I SUSPECT THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT) THE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP QUIT RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS YEARS AGO NOW.
