my brakes don't feel right, i have to practically jam my foot to the floor to stop and it's really starting to bother me because today i was on the highway and buddy in front of me jams on the brakes and i was going like 80 so i jamed my foot to the floor and the petal started to shake so i pumped the brakes. i use to have to pump the brakes in the bmw because they would get so hot that they would get soft. anyway, now my brake light is on, and my traction light was on before, but it's gone off..
the car is a 2003 with 68k on it and the other 2003 we have (same car) has 138k and it never needed any brake repair at all? but then again, my car is used so the person who had it before could have been on the brakes all the time..
anyone else ever had this brake problem..

Would you either crash into the back of a car or pay to have a safer car? That is the question.

My dad said you should get to see if the brake discs are worn but it is probably the brake pads have worn out and need replacing.

Go to a local garage and get them to check your car over
