Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When driving the vehicle on local and highways, the brake does not get activated unless you press the brake pedal all the way down which engages the vehicle in reducing speed but this takes too long. There is no reduction of speed if you press a little or in increments on the brake pedal, the only way the vehicle brakes is you hard press your foot down on the pedal and that takes too long to make it extremely dangerous. When i need to come to a sudden stop the brakes do not engage properly with delay response and i am pressing hard all the way down on the brake pad. I have taken the vehicle to different mechanics and even replaced brake shoes and brake pads, however this problem continues with vehicle taking too long to brake and not braking properly was a problem since i bought the vehicle. I have owned several vehicles in past and am very familiar with car braking systems and the response times needed to brake. The braking system on this vehicle is faulty and is unsafe and does not meet standards to approve this vehicle for safe driving.
