Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. WHEN I USE THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES AREN'T WORKING. YOU HAVE TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL FURTHER AND HARDER THAN NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO STOP. AFTER A FEW BRAKE APPLICATIONS, THE BRAKES APPEAR TO WORK NORMALLY. *AK
