Brake pedal returns slowly, sometimes does not return at all. Dealer has tsb published about problem - 92-19-2 ABS pedal returns slow: new brake booster. Replacement of brake booster is necessary, however, dealer does not feel this is a safety issue - the brake pedal does not always return ! This means the brakes do not alway disengage!
