Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A BRAKE PEDAL KICKBACK DURING EMERGENCY BRAKING THAT VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT . MY FOOT WAS VERY NEARLY KNOCKED OFF THE PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE BRAKING ACTION WAS INTERRUPTED. THE HYDROBOOST ACTION OF THE BRAKING/STEERING HAS BEEN INADEQUATE SINCE DAY ONE. THERE IS BARELY ENOUGH POWER TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT SLOW SPEED AND IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE STEERING AT LOW SPEED OR LOW RPM THE SYSTEM BOGS DOWN AND IS VERY SLUGGISH. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A REAL DESIGN PROBLEM HERE. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOSE YOUR STEERING ABILITY BECAUSE YOU APPLY YOUR BRAKES! THE PEDAL KICKBACK IS ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF THE HYDROBOOST PROBLEM.
