SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
LUMP BEHIND BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE TOP OF MY FOOT (10.5 SHOE SIZE) PRESSES AGAINST A LUMP WHICH STOPS ME FROM APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. TO AVOID THIS, I HAVE TO POSITION MY FOOT AT AN ANGLE. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN I NEED TO APPLY THE BRAKE IN A HURRY, THE LAST THING I THINK ABOUT IS THE ANGLE OF MY FOOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR AGENCY HAS COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THANK YOU.*AK
