Consumer Description

IN COLD WEATHER THE BRAKES FEEL 'FROZEN' OR 'WOODEN', AND DO NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. AFTER USING THEM A FEW TIMES IN A ROW THEY SEEM TO RETURN TO WARM WEATHER PERFORMANCE. IT HAPPENS AGAIN EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN COLD WEATHER' NOT EXTREME COLD, BUT JUST NEAR FREEZING. IT SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED EARLY THIS YEAR. SERVICE PEOPLE CANNOT SEE A CAUSE.
