Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPING FOR A STOP SIGN AND ENGINE SUDDENLY RACED AND COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH TO STOP. SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE STOPPED RACING AND CAR SCREECHED TO A HALT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS AND EACH TIME I HAVE SHOT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED BY ANYBODY ELSE AND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE VACUUM LEAK, BUT AN INDEPENDENT BRAKE SPECIALIST HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND THE BRAKES ARE FINE. NOTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE. I AM REPORTING THE LATEST INCIDENT. *TR
