“Repeated brake failure. It seemed that the brakes would stop functioning after the vehicle was stopped in stop and go traffic, stop signs or light. The dealer determined that the problem may be too much engine heat to the master cylinder, therefore they installed a heat shield between the engine and master cylinder. The vehicles parking brake stopped work. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the emergency brake shoes burned out.”
