Ongoing problem with brake system. Whenever vehicle is at a parked position and sitting for a while, then when backing up the consumer can hear shot of air going through the system which causes a backward surge (almost as though the brake pedal would lock up) with no brake. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasion sand nothing could be found. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter.
