6-7 times brake pedal got stuck. It happened only on highway and beltway at 55 mph or higher. When pressing down on brake pedal it get stuck, and continuing to press down it became unstuck. Dealer has been able to duplicate problem, but they could do anything wrong. 2 mechanics has test driven vehicle, and another mechanic from dealership will be test drive it again. When the consumer applied brake at 55 mph, the brakes became hard and the steering wheel shimmyed followed by brake going to floor.
