Hi everyone, just joined up to get some advice from the more knowledgeable people here! I left work today, probably drove 200m and had to stop at a junction. I applied the breaks and nothing happened! After pushing the breaks harder there was finally enough force to stop, I wasn't going fast and the car stopped with its nose only poking a little way into the junction. I drove off down the road and tested the breaks a few more times and eventually they started working again.....
The brakes were fine for the rest of the journey. I stopped at tesco and when I left they were still fine. When I got home I switched off and left the car for an hour. Pumped the brakes to remove any residule power assistance and started up again and the brakes still worked.
I'm no expert on cars but I would like to avoid going through that again. Any ideas what could cause it? I drive a 2016 5.0 GT. The car was serviced a week and a half ago and the brake fluid was replaced. I have driven it quite a bit since with no issues and the level is still fine.
Thanks in advance!
