[FONT=Trebuchet MS]CONDITION/CONCERN[/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS]: [/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS]A customer or technician may comment the brake pedal may not raise or seem stuck down after a normal braking event. The condition will typically occur in high temperature/high humidity conditions and may not be repeatable. The brake lights may remain on and the brakes may drag after the pedal is released. A pop, click or snap noise may be heard when pedal is applied or released, but is not always noticeable or present. [/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]This could drain the battery if the pedal is left depressed for extended periods.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]If the concern is intermittent allow the vehicle to idle for 30 minutes with the heat on high, in floor mode to try and induce the concern.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS]There is a bind in the brake pedal pivot bushing, replace the brake pedal/w bushings and the 2 retaining clips.[/FONT]
