This vehicle has totally inadequate brakes. This is the only non-ABS car I have ever owned where the brakes cannot be locked upintentionally at any speed. I have taken the car to a dealer on two occasions and all they did was bleed and clean the brakes. I have had brake pads and shoes replaced, the entire hydraulic system bled, new master cylinder installed, pedal and booster clearances checked. Nothing makes a difference. I have seen from your other defect reports that there is a 'revised power booster and master cylinder' available. However, when I contact the dealers parts and service departments they dont know anything about this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
