0000700 Dealer Repair Information 

                                                                        
If a customer complains of one or more of the following four (4)        
symptoms while driving at freeway/highway speeds (approx. 55 mph) for   
approx. 20-30 minutes, but does not complain when the vehicle is cold   
and driven at slower speeds, the brake master cylinder push rod         
adjustment may be off causing brake drag.                               
                                                                        
1. Vehicle loses power and the brake pedal feels hard.                  
2. Brakes gradually apply themselves while driving.                     
3. Front end vibrates.                                                  
4. Steering wheel shimmies.                                             
                                                                        
Check for proper operation of all brake components (brake calipers      
sticking, rear brakes sticking etc.). If all brake components are       
operating correctly, check the master cylinder push rod adjustment, it  
may be adjusted too long causing the brakes to drag. Refer to the       
Workshop Manual Section P.
