anyone have a problem where the brake pedal locks up before you start the car? You actually can't even start the car. I have to really push down the brake pedal then when i start the car it doesn't lock up anymore...is this normal?

I might of, so this means that it's normal?

It's normal for anycar to have the power brake booster reserve exhausted if you turn off the car w/the brakes depressed. If they were not depressed, the engine being on, would help recharge the power brake booster.
