Brake Light On problem #1

Accelerator does not give power from stop position unless the pedal is floor boarded. It will then creep up to desired speed. Brake light comes on as well as engine light. The cause has been undetected by the dealership. The prblem may last a day, maybe more maybe less, and then correct itself . You have no warning as to when this will happen. It starts from the stop position everytime but once. That time I was driving in traffic when it would not accelerate.

Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem #2

Electric brake failure on abs causing the pedal to stiff and no fluid applied to the slave cylinders.

Brake Foundation Components problem #3

Braking system malfunctioned. Brake pedal traveled halfway down in order for the braking system to be functional which caused extended stopping distance, and might result in a crash. Dealer said it was the charcteristic of the vehicle, and that nothing could be done to correct it. Design flaw.
