Service Brakes

BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PUSH, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL ON ITS OWN AND BRAKE NEEDS TO BE REAPPLIED.THIS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR UNTIL PEDAL IS ALMOST AT THE FLOOR.

I WAS DOING A 75MPH IN THE STATE OF COLORADO AND SUDDENLY I LOST ALL THE POWER IN STEERING. THE BRAKES WERE JAMMED. THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T BUDGE. I GOT RATTLED IN THIS SITUATION BUT ADRENALINE TOOK OVER AND I COULD SLIGHTLY SWERVE THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ON THE SHOULDER. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES OFTEN, JUST TO SLOW DOWN THE SPEED AND HENCE TO A FULL STOP. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS MY ONLY RESORT IN THIS INCIDENT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE MET WITH AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. UPON DIAGNOSIS, I FOUND THAT THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN DOWN AND THIS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER TO MOTORS AND HENCE THE ENTIRE BREAKING AND STEERING ASSEMBLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGN FOR THE SAME, NO CHECK ENGINE OR ANY SIGN THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. HAD THERE BEEN AN INDICATION, I WOULD HAVE GOT THE ISSUE SORTED OUT.

THE PARKING/RUNNING LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS CAN DRAIN THE BATTERY IF NOT NOTED WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR. WEATHER/HUMIDITY/PRECIPITATION HAS NO BEARING ON THIS PROBLEM. LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF WHETHER VEHICLE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR OFF. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING AND THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED/DIAGNOSED.
