Brake pedal went to floor at 3 mph with rough grinding sound. Pumped brakes twice and brakes were normal. The brakes pads, rotors, rear brakes are ok. No abs failure or hydraulic failure lights on during failure. The rought grinding sound has occured before at low speed, but brakes were normal. Many similar compaints on your website.
