After exiting highway onto offramp, i applied brakes which did not slow car significantly, reapplied brake hard and again car car would not slow adequately. braking power seem to be approx 10% of normal. car began to shake and engine revved as car finally stopped in middle of intersection, near miss vs oncoming traffic.
Brakes were unresponsive when trying to slow from 35 mph for stop sign. could only depress brake pedal about a half-inch, car essentially coasted to a stop in the middle of an intersection causing a near miss. car started to shudder violently before coming to a stop. this was the first of 2 serious brake failures for this car.
