Description of the problem	While driving i noticed that my front abs would not activate in an emergency situation. Braking distances became a lot longer. When i went to check my front brakes, i discovered that the front lower brake piston had frozen. It was the same for both sides. Took it into the shop, and they said the same thing. They wanted to replace the caliper on both sides for a total of $750. I did it myself. This is the same thing that has happened to many other owners, which can be found on www. T4r. Org.
