22 June 07 rear brakes replaced, noticed on initial driving that brake pedal would 'bottom out', brakes would make metal on metal sound, and vehicle slow to stop. 13 July 07 vehicle returned to dealer with brake complaint, hand brake adjusted. 17 Aug 07 vehicle returned to dealer with same above complaint, vacuum booster pipes and non-return valve replaced 5 Sep 07 vehicle returned to dealer with same complaint, vacuum pump pipe assembly replaced again. 10 Sep 07 vehicle returned to dealer with same complaint, no problem found. As of this date brakes continue to malfunction on initial startup, once brakes have been used for several stops they appear to start working more correctly.
