01C5Vert Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I am getting the "BRAKE FAILURE SERVICE URGENT" Text Message along with the red "Brake" dummy light on the dashboard (under the gas gauge). It is only happening when I make long hard right hand turns such as when using a highway on/off ramp. (Or turning clockwise in a circle.) I am not braking when it happens and the message clears as soon as the car straightens out. There are no other braking issues ie. the brakes have been working fine.Seems like a sensor issue or possible short. Car has 52K miles.Any insight and or fixes (other than don't make right hand turns)?Your help is appreciated, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01C5Vert Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Sounds good to me I checked the fluid and it is a bit low. Logically that makes sense too since I replaced the pads in June. (I am an idiot - that should have been the first thing to check.) Anyway, thanks for the tip. I will fill'er up tomorrow (DOT 4).
