When traveling at low speeds, the braking system has failed. It usually occurs within the first couple of minutes of driving. It has probably happened 6 or 7 times over the course of owning the vehicle (3 years). No lights are on. When you press the brake, it goes further than normal, and then it finally works after taking several extra feet to stop. It happens irregularly, so we can't duplicate it for service. *la
