Default Brake pedal sticking, need help.

I have a problem with the brakes. It doesn't happen all the time, usually while down shifting and applying the brakes at the same time. After taking my foot off the pedal it doesn't release all the way and I have to pry it up with my toe. I already had it to the dealership but they said there is nothing wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem. I know that there is a Technical Service bulletin on this issue. I'll see if I can find it (I think someone posted it here). It said something to the effect that either 1) the brake booster would need to be replaced or 2) that springs (or whatever the return mechanism is) on the pedal itself might need replacement.

H8 B N SLO,

Yep, have them look up the TSB regarding this issue and replace the brake booster with the updated version.

Good luck.
