Aug	2010	1000	0	Sticky brake pedal. Service advisor would not go with me for a ride. Said "they all do that," despite my trial of a like model on the lot that "didn't do that." Mechanic could not find a problem using his diagnostic machine.
Sep	2010	2000	0	Visited a second dealer with a MUCH BETTER service dept. Service advisor drove car and recognized the problem. Mechanic found a faulty power brake booster. Part not in stock but was ordered. Brake pedal is sticky at the top of its travel. Dealer says its a characteristic not a defect. Offer was made to change to a new pedal assembly but that might make it worse. Original pedal may improve over time. Trip odometer would not reset. New instumentation assembly was ordered. Instumentation cluster changed. Mileage entered into new cluster, keys reprogramed to accomodate new instruments. Successful repair.
