Consumer Description

ON A COLD START, WITH THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AT OR BELOW FREEZING (32F), THE 3RD TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WILL NOT GO DOWN. THERE IS A HARD STOP AND THE BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE, IF IN MOTION, WILL NOT STOP. REPEATED PUMPING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL EVENTUALLY FREES UP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BRAKING FUNCTION IS RESTORED. NOTICE A DISTINCT REVVING OF THE ENGINE WHEN THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED. THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM. *TR
