MY BRAKES (NEAR ACCIDENT!)

Since I got back from the camping trip, my brakes haven’t been what they used to be. I got a full brake job last December and even replaced all lines and the E-brake. There’s no rubbing or rotor damage it just feels like I don’t have any brake pressure. i ignored it for the most part until today when I was on my way to work and leaving my side road into a busy intersection and hit the brakes and I didn’t stop….

At 40 miles per hour I rolled toward the intersection. I cut the power and jacked the E-brake and managed to make it out alive without hitting anyone but I immediately cranked the car up and drove (yea I drove) to my mechanic which I believe said those brakes have a 36,000 mile warranty and I’ve probably driven about 12 thousand this year. It appears to just be leakage so they’re checking it out and will get back to me today.

However, pretty freaking scary. I attempted to twitter but it appears twitter is down so a blog post will suffice.
