Consumer Description

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SELECTING REVERSE OR DRIVE, AS THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, TO DEPRESS AND THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS AT ALL. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL SELECTING NEUTRAL AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER THE CAR WAS ABLE TO IDLE FOR 15-30 SECONDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL RETURNS TO NORMAL AND FUNCTIONS PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS MOST OFTEN OCCURS IF THE CAR HAS SAT OFF FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. *TR
