Consumer Description

CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND START BUTTON. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING. BRAKE WAS VERY HARD AND AFTER 10 MINUTES I GAVE UP AND DROVE MY TRUCK. THIS IS ABOUT THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WILL TAKE TO DEALER. FROM READING THE BLOGS SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR
