When I first get in the car and pull it out of the garage. When I'm backing up the brakes are fine. When I start out and if I need to brake , I. E. At the end of the alley, I must push with all my might to stop the car. I go again for a short distance and tryto stop and it does it again. I have to do this for about 3 to 4 times before they begin to work properly. The car is at the dealership now and they tell me they can't find the problem although it does that for them too. They also tried a other 2001 models of the civuc and the same thing happens. This I believe is a safety issue and they need to fix the problem, whatever it takes. They say that if they allow the car to warm for 5 minutes it's o. K. I already knew that as after I pushed on the brakes 3 or 4 times then they were o. K. I also advised them today that I would not accept the car back until they found the problem. I also told them it didn't happen in the first two weeks I had the car. I'm just lucky I wasn't going into traffic and on snow and ice. I feel that I should be able to get into my car and drive knowing my brakes will work properly.
