If the brake pedal stops slowing the vehicle, what should a Colorado driver try first?
- Take the foot off the accelerator and pump the brake pedal
- Pull the parking brake hard and lock the rear wheels
- Turn off the ignition and coast without steering
- Continue driving until the brakes cool down
Answer: Take the foot off the accelerator and pump the brake pedal. For brake failure, Colorado advises removing the foot from the accelerator and pumping the brake pedal several times. That pumping may rebuild enough pressure to stop. If it does not, apply the parking brake slowly, because locking the rear wheels can produce a skid. Lower gears can help after those steps, but the vehicle must be brought off the roadway and should not be driven without functioning brakes. Shutting off the ignition or coasting removes useful control rather than restoring braking.
