I have long commute (60 miles one way, from Costa Mesa, CA to San Bernardino) to school twice a week. Anyhow, I got in the car as usual around 9:30 pm after class.
Driving out of parking lot, then I realized that brake was rock hard and car did not stop. I barely stopped the car with parking (foot) brake. Unfortunately enough, my AAA expired about a week ago and haven’t renewed yet (what a coincidence). So, I made a call to MBUSA roadside assistance and they send me a tow truck driver. MBUSA roadside assistance said a car will be dropped tomorrow morning at the nearest dealership, which is Walter's Auto Sales and Service, Inc. in Riverside.
And I got home by a cab.[v]
Can anybody tell me what is wrong with my brake? As far as I know, pads are not due yet.
And I know there’s little bit of leak in power steering pump, and I was gonna take care of it at next service. But does it have anything to do with brake failure?
I’ll figure out tomorrow morning, but I want to collect your precious opinions ahead.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, the car has 221k on the clock.
