I have had my caliper bolt come loose and was completely missing two times, on two different wheels, and different times. The first time, it cause the caliper to partially disengage and wedge into the rim, cracking it. The second time, it was detected by the horrendous noise and clacking made by the loose caliper while driving.
Loss of pedal power when braking. Has happened multiple times while driving and when stopped. On highway and city streets. Issue is ongoing has happened the last two years. Have fixed multiple items on brake systems and it continues to happen.
Emergency brake pedal is the problem. It is mounted tooooo high, close to the bottom of dash- board and toooo far to the left. It makes it very, very difficult to get the proper leverage to apply, especially if wearing boots or work shoes. When I engaged it that time my ankle "popped". at first, the loud noise caused me to think it cracked. It turned out that the peroneal tendon had slipped out of it's ankle groove & the supporting ligament was now stretched & unable to properly support the tendons & ankle. I've been getting treatment since then & it still is not completely healed. It has limited my ability to work, exercise, etc. All because of the stupid placement of an eb pedal. I no longer use the emergency brake. Ps: your site will not allow me to enter that I was injured & required medical treatment<<<<<<<<
