Default Sudden Brake Failure

So... Has anyone else experienced sudden brake failure??
On three occasions now, I've applied pressure to the brake pedal to have it go right to the floor. Upon quick thinking, I pumped the pedal and achieved brakes. Since the dealer can't duplicate the problem, it's not a problem in their eyes. But, when asked if they would put their family in the car knowing that the brakes could fail at anytime, I think you know what the answer is..

Anyone else ever experience this???

Complete thread is in the L-Series Forum

Default Re: Sudden Brake Failure

Assuming that the system has been inspected and nothing found that would cause a problem. No leaks? ABS?

It MAY be a master cylinder but that would show up a lot more regular. Any common factors between the three failures ?

No common factors except going down hill. No leaks... Master cylinder replaced... Fluid replaced
