Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT DEPRESS A SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE RESISTANCE AS IT DID PREVIOUSLY. NOW, I HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET IT TO DEPRESS ANY DISTANCE SO THAT I CAN START THE CAR. THIS USUALLY DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 DEGREES OR THE CAR HAS BEEN OPERATED VERY RECENTLY.
