I was backing out of a parking spot and my car **** and the ABS/ASR lights came on. Then I had not brakes. The petal was going to the floor and could not stop. I had to use my emergency brake. We have checked the brake fluid and it is full, so we do not think it is the brake lines. Any idea what else it could be?
Check that the vacuum line is feeding the servo any leaks in the vacuum line will stop the brakes from working abs relays on the pedal pressure to activate abs, if you can hear a hissing sound from the servo then the servo is leaking inside this is if the vacuum line is not damaged, use a pipe or screwdriver on the case and put to your ear and you should hear if its hissing or not.

Good day;
In your trunk area there should be a piece of carpet by your tail light just move that to the side and then you can access your bulb. Any problems please let me know.
Cheers

a very common fault is the switch,the calipers are not much better,they will be able to sort it for you but they are bad news for a modern car !!

You have to get CV Boots replaced, this happens because they split. What happen was something got stuck inside the axel where the little boots is held on and split that little piece of rubber (its easy to do). As a result, fluid leaks and and spashes on the back tires so you never know it happens. When you make turns the car will make a clicking noise. You can add fluid but, it will continue to leak out if those boots are split so, you have to replace the boots. I had to replace the boots and axel because the boots come on the axel. Its an expensive project. Boots, axel and labor $500 starting if you go through the dealer. Also, if you have an extended warranty they won't cover it because there is no time frame when these boots split it just something that can happen. Honestly, they know this is something common especially if you drive through snow.
