Am happy to report that I think we've solved the hard brake problem in our new Honda Fit, and Roadmaster's main installation tech at the factory (Graham) was very helpful. I'd sent an email to Roadmaster asking about this problem, and they called me and asked me to bring it in for a complimentary check (even though we had not had it installed there). When I went to Roadmaster, found that the relatively early Invisibrake units had had a problem where one of the tubes installed in the box was so short that it tended to create a leak. He showed me where the tube was barely attached (it turns out that we got one of the early units installed based on the serial number; the later units have fixed the problem). He took the unit apart and fixed the tube and reinstalled the unit. He also checked all the wiring and found that the Invisibrake had been installed too tightly (brakes were dragging a bit). Fixed that too. Then sent me on my way, and extensive testing so far has been unable to recreate the hard brake problem. Must say that RoadMaster was extremely responsive and helpful with this problem. Mark

We had the Invisibrake installed about 3 weeks ago. No problems when towing so far. But last week was driving our brand new Honda Fit to the airport and suddenly felt I was having problems with the brakes. At one point seemed like I couldn't find the brake and stepped on the accelerator instead. Stopped and looked at everything and it looked normal. 20 miles later suddenly had a very hard brake pedal when I needed to brake. I was already being pretty careful because of a sense something was wrong so was prepared for the problem. Will look into the vacuum issue mentioned in this thread. Not sure whether it's an Invisibrake-caused issue, or a Honda Fit issue from the thread. Any additional feedback appreciated. Am afraid to drive the car right now.
