| The brake system would lock up at high speeds, drivable and you feel the friction and it's like a tugging effect until you brake and then it would be completely fine. this first happened back in june of 2007. i brought the car in to have the dealer look at the problem as soon as it happened. they said everything was fine and they couldn't find anything wrong, nothing showed up on their tests. this brake problem happened occasionally through the year with no warning light appearing on the panel and it was brought to the dealers attention and always the same result, nothing they can find in their tests. but lately this brake problem was happening more frequently, more random and progressive and again was brought to the dealers attention, 3 different dealers in fact. and still nothing they can find. *tr | |||
