problem #2

Dec 302003

Legacy 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles
When brakes are applied/tapped they suddenly tighten and get hot as time progresses. This makes it difficult to continue operating the vehicle. This failure resulted in a fire due to master brake cylinder failure. Brake pads and calipers were replaced, but the failure recurred.
