While driving at about 15 mph, your wife heard a high-pitched squeal and the ABS warning light started flashing. When she pressed the brake pedal, it went all the way to the floor without slowing or stopping the vehicle. She safely coasted into a driveway and turned off the engine. The dealership found that the brake booster assembly had failed. Replacing the brake booster should restore normal braking function.
