Which part of the brake system on my car needs to be addressed?
What is your question?
Hello,
I have a Saab 9-5 2011 that has a problem that my dealer seems to be unable to address. From time to time, when I depress the brake pedal and then release it, the pedal does not retract to its original position. This does not happen all the time, but when it does, I have to pull with my foot on the brake pedal in order to release the brakes. The dealer has changed the master cylinder and the brake fluid, but the problem continues to persist. I noticed that this problem is more likely to occur if I go backwards. I also noticed that if I park my car, turn off the engine, and pump the brakes, the problem disappears for a couple of days. Does anyone have any idea what else can my mechanic look at in order to address this issue? This is quite frustratingThank you for any helpful advice that anyone can offer.
How long have you had this problem? A couple of months.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2011 Saab 9-5. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Just for found out from the mechanic that he finally learnt from other Saab mechanics that the brake pedal needs to be replaced. Apparently, these SAABs can suffer from malfunctioning brake pedals.
Thank you very much for your reply. I will let the mechanic know:-)
