Brakes become hard to push when going below 5MPH and doesn't want to stop when pressed. Sometimes you press brakes and push as hard as you can and it just keeps moving until he slowly comes to a stop. It happens when traveling at a low speed or even at a stop and you need to barely move forward or backward. Makes it hard to park in tight spaces, move in traffic, and in a drive-thru.
