Stiff brake pedal etiology
Ok smarty pants. Solve this automotive issue.
2015 SRX has a tight brake pedal. It seems to only occur when it has been parked in the summer heat 95+ Car will brake but pedal barely moves and is very stiff/tight. When the brakes are applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop the car does not need the brake pedal pressed. It will remain at a stop until you press the gas When temps cool, brake pedal back to normal. |

Stuck caliper(s). Pads don't retract sufficiently, so not much pedal motion needed. Just a guess, based on actual experience though.

You really need to get the entire brake system checked out by a pro. |

I had a proportioning valve go bad and do something similar but I'm with others in suggesting the whole system be gone through, brakes being kind of important. #BrakesLivesMatter

Over 40 years of working on cars, restoring cars and building cars and never, not once, have I used or heard the word “etiology” associated with cars.
