Max brakes are frozen?!

Hi,

Again it happened this year during the cold spell. When the car sits outside overnight (at -20C), I start the car and the brake pedal when applied does not want to move. I stomp on the pedal a couple of times and then the pedal moves normally, and the brakes work fine from then on. I had the same thing happen last year and I replaced my brake fluid last summer, thinking the fluid was the culprit (maybe some moisture got in and froze). It would seem that the fluid was not the issue.

I can't leave the car at the dealer as it would have to be overnight and it would have to be cold. No cold (-20C) weather projections for the next week or so.

Anyone have this issue and solved it?

Thanks,
