I HAD NEW BRAKES PUT ON MY VEHICLE (ALL FOUR BRAKES) AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THEM PUT ON I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE WANTING TO FAIL. WHEN I GO TO STOP THE BRAKES SQUEAL REALLY BAD, ARE HARD TO GET TO STOP LIKE I AM PUSHING ON A BRICK (I HAVE TO PUT ALL MY BODY WEIGHT INTO BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE) AND SOMETIMES WILL KEEP ROLLING. I HAD THE LINES CHECKED AND NOBODY CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

I REINSTALLED THE SWITCH, BUT INSERTED THE SPACER INSERT FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE. WHEN DISSASSEMBLING, THE SPACER WAS INSERTED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF TEMPORALLY WHEN THE KEYLESS ENTRY IS PRESSED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH AND ACTUATOR ASSEMBLIES. THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
