Consumer Description

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE DURING WET CONDITIONS. THIS IS ONLY DURING HIGHWAY OR COUNTRY DRIVING WHERE THE BRAKES ARE NOT FREQUENTLY APPLIED. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED DURING THESE CONDITIONS, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY A 1 TO 2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE BRAKES START TO RETARD SPEED. IT FEELS OR SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A FILM OF WATER BETWEEN THE DISCS AND PADS AND THIS HESITATION IS OCCURRING WHILE SQUEEZING OR DRYING OUT THIS FILM OF WATER. *AK
