Brake pedal gets and remains hard (pedal at full top) while at highway and then at local street speeds. Although this has happened twice and reported to dealer at service time (10/26/2000 & 05/22/2001), when it does happen it is constant. Feels like the brakes are activated, and sometimes problem causes the car to vibrate serverly, causing concern of possible accident. Dealer could not verify my concern at both instances.
