Intermitent complete brake failure. Has happened 3 times the week of 6/27/03. Dealer can not replicate problem and is making me take car out of service area. The dealer admits they would not drive the car with this problem and I don't know what to do next.

problem #2

A4 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 15 miles
Especially during highway driving the braking system does not initially apply any meaningful stopping power when driving in wet conditions. This results in a 1-2 second delay in actual slowing when applying brakes in the wet.

Rear brakes make whining/grinding sound only when in reverse. Dealer has tried deglazing and power washing brake discs and routers to no avail.
