| Description of the problem | Brake system i brake, but the pedal was really stiff, hardly moved and the car did not brake. Only long hard pushing finally succeeded. (auto hold switch was off) my other issue is when i'm driving on the highway and put on the brakes lightly, it feels like i slammed them on! Both issues keep happening intermittently and is very dangerous! I have almost rear-ended people! I purchased the vehicle last year and have had the problem since then. |
