Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated that the brake pedal was mushy, and when it was depressed, lowered to the same point as the accelerator pedal. This caused the contact to accidentally apply pressure on both pedals. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer noted that the rear calipers were not adjusting. The dealer lubricated and adjusted the calipers, which did not completely fix the problem. Updated 8/16/2006 - *nm |
