Brakes are very soft or mushy and are slow to respond. They do not effectively engage until the pedal is depressed very close to the floor, thus requiring an inordinate amount of time and distance to stop. The inadequacy of performace contributed substantially, in my judgment, to the accident in which I was involved because the brakes simply failed to start slowing the car down until the pedal was almost completely depressed to the floor. I have just reported it in writing to the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle. I advised my insurance agent and the carrier of my concerns regarding the brakes' performance immediately upon my report of the accident on the day in which it occurred.
