I was going to work in the morning. I went to stop at the redlight right at my work but my brakes were very firm and wouldnt push down. My service brake warning came up on my dash and service engine light came on.

My vehicle only has 81824 miles on it and I am having head gasket issues. I have a coolant leak into my engine. It is barely 7 years old.

While driving my vehicle at 55mph on a country road, I went to brake, and then realized that I had no brakes. I had to coast to a near stop and put everything I had into pushing the little bit of brake pedal clearance left to the floor to come to a complete stop. I had NO warning signs or dash lights before this happened. Once I turned my car off and then…
