Whenever brakes are applied quickly, eg., in a panic stop, there is no power assist and it is impossible to stop vehicle quickly. When brakes are applied slowly, they work fine. The brakes have always had this problem since the vehicle was new more than 3 years ago.

Lumina

  • Automatic transmission

Upon making a stop the brake pedal became very difficult to depress, causing extended stopping distance and loss of brake effectivness. In addition, the location and the design of the horn makes it difficult in an emergency to locate and depress the horn. Also, due to the shape of the windshield there is a strong reflection of the front section which is very bad during certain daylight conditions.
