Total brake failure is a virtually unheard of situation with contemporary vehicles, all of which have dual channel hydraulic brakes - if one channel fails, there is a back-up channel. Unless, some one has sabotaged the brakes ??? |
Not the first report of this happening. While there are two channels, both use one master cylinder and one brake fluid reservoir. If there is a leak/break, and all fluid is gone (pumping the brakes will do this), then the result can be a total brake failure.
