 The braking on the car works when it wants. you apply the brakes and you have a full brake pedal then the next thing you know the pedal goes to the floor almost all the way, as if you were applying manual brakes. it doesn't matter how fast you go . i have been backing out of my garage and the brakes fail, and i can be going down the highway and they fail. i have had my car at the dealership numerous times for brake work and i get the same responce each time(we can't find anything wrong), now finally on the fifth time the put the car on some kind of computer and they told me that my abs modulator was bad. i have been told by the dealership that this is a ongoing problem with berretta & corsica. please contact me with any further information regarding my problem........... thank you !!!!
