Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Whenever a panic stop is required the brakes take almost a second after application before they respond. it is like pushing on an air cylinder with a small orifice - a second is too long to wait for the brakes. the pedal travel is correct and the dealer says it must be normal. i say it is unsafe after narrowly avoiding a crash that should have not even been close if the brake would grab as soon as i step on them. no matter how hard i push there is a time delay while i push "air through the orifice".*ak
