What owners wrote

Brakes failed initially at about 30 miles, at about 40MPH I hit brakes lightly, brakes didn't work, brake pedal felt rough and ABS light illuminated. Several seconds later ABS light turned off and brakes felt as if they were working again. This happened again several hundred miles later and was similar. About 200 miles after that I once hit the brakes hard to slow down, they felt rough and didn't work. Brakes have worked since. I assumed that the brakes needed to be broken in.

We are experiencing an on-going problem with the brakes on my 2002 dodge intrepid. The brake pedal sticks after applying the brakes. When this happens the brake pedal must be pulled up with your foot. Initially we experienced a slight sticking of the pedal when depressing on the brakes, as the pedal was going down. The problem is intermittent and takes you by surprise but has not caused an accident. The manufacturers dealer service has not been able to resolve the issue after several attempts.
