Consumer Description

WHEN GENTLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES WOULD SUDDENLY FULLY ENGAGE FOR A MOMENT AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES IN MY CASE, BUT IT IS NOT HARD TO IMAGINE THIS CAUSING A CAR TO BE HIT FROM THE REAR OR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. TO CORRECT THE SITUATION THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
