FRONT BRAKE BECOMES HARD AND CANNOT SQUEEZE TO STOP. FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE EVERY TWO YEARS. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WHILE OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS MODEL IS EQUIPPED WITH ABS. I BELIEVE THERE IS A STICKY VALVE IN THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. A STANDARD BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT ABS WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
