My bet is the emergency brake cable(s) need replacing. Remove the cable from
the actuating arm at the caliper and see if the arm moves and returns
freely. If the rear calipers are not releasing, it is either the cables or
the calipers. See www.urs4.com for more info.

> Break pedal becomes resistance free for the first 1/3 of its travel, and
the

but

>
> The last 2/3 of pedal travel feel normal, and the car stops well.
>
> The symptoms are intermittent, and not relieved by disabling the ABS,
> repeatedly pulling the E-Brake, or repeatedly pumping the pedal. The
