Brake pedal gets really stiffen up and car won't start unless I depress the brake really really hard. Seems like faulty brake system. This happens when the vehicle has been left sitting for awhile. Happening frequently now.

The contact owns a 2014 Acura MDX. The contact stated that while parked, another vehicle slightly bumped the contact's vehicle and caused it to roll away in reverse and down a hill. The contact's vehicle then crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.

9 Dec. 2014 brake pedal would not depress to allow starting of vehicle. After jamming foot against the "frozen" brake pedal multiple times pedal depressed enough to allow vehicle start. No further issues that day. 10 Dec. 2014 second occurrence of exact issue as described above. 24 Dec. 2014 while driving approx. 20 mph on an ice covered road, attempted to apply brakes in order to retard vehicle speed while descending slight hill, brake pedal would not depress. After multiple jamming of foot against brake pedal, pedal finally depressed allowing ABS and brake system to function slowing vehicle.

When coming to a sudden stop the brake light will flash on the dashboard accompanied by a beeping sound for approximately 3 seconds. I have brought it into the dealers ship in metairie Louisiana and am told that they cannot duplicate the problem. This has occurred approximately 4 times intermittently over the last 3 months. I am concerned because the owners manual states the brake system is failing or the brake fluid is low.
