The SalesMan must have skipped that bit when he was selling me the car.
What way are they dubious - are you able to expand.
A previous car had "dubious brakes" which meant that given just the right conditions, when you were coming up to to a roundabout and pressed the brake pedal, you had a very, very slow braking action (even if your foot was hard to the floor).
Often resulted in you sticking well out in to the roundabout, while Drivers glared at you as if you were some sort of Boy Racer or Woman Driver.
(Pughy3: You may have had a similar experience
)
Thing is, as you were so shocked at not feeling the braking sensation, combined with the feeling of "touching cloth" you just looked like a complete moron sat there, with a wry smile mouthing apologies :wtf:
To add to all that, the car was then recalled in for Warranty Work to replace the brake hose cable thing for a week.
I'll never forget the Service Mechanic explaining to me when he could see the look on my face at leaving the car for a week:
"You will attempt to brake, the brake pedal will sink straight to the floor..... and you will die."
Convinced me :thumbup: I have to say.
Is any of the above what you may have been referring to :eusa-think:
