AFTER A HARD BREAKING ON A SLIPPERY ROAD ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE BRAKE PEDAL NOW GOES WAY FURTHER DOWN THAN IT USED TO. SEEMS TO HAVE LOST ANY EFFECT FOR AT LEAST HALF ITS TRAVEL. VERY SCARY THE FIRST TIME YOU NOTICE IT.

THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE DISTANCE. OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DURING A MODERATE TO HARD STOP. BREAKS AND SYSTEM HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND MECHANIC DOES NOT FIND ANY OBVIOUS ISSUES. BREAKS ARE "SOFT" AND TAKE A HALF SECOND TO ENGAGE WHEN FOOT IS APPLIED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OUT SINCE JUNE 1, 2016 AND IT IS STILL LISTED AS RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THEY ARE TO NOTIFY ME BY MAIL TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I AM ABLE TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED. I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH THAT THIS IS A CONCERNING ENOUGH PROBLEM THAT IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY NOW TO BE FIXED.
