Description of the problem | Several times commuting in to work, wife said brakes felt funny, hard to stop. I would drive and have no problems, then it finally happened to me in at a busy intersection. Tried to stop but truck kept rolling, lost braking power and the truck slid forward. Managed to stop but happened again two days later and it happened at a higher speed. Brake pedal goes real stiff when in stop and go traffic and it is hard for the truck to stop. Going approximately 20 mph, the car in front slows down to turn. I applied brakes and the truck was hard to stop. The brake pedal went stiff as i was pushing down hard. The truck felt like it was slowing down but barely. I almost hit the car before it turned. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they diagnosed the problem as the brake booster vacuum pump and pipe. I called the corporate office and told them that i am having a safety issue. They said that it was not a defect or real safety issue. They said that the truck was out of warranty. It only has 61,156 miles on it as of 9 july 2018. The first time the issue occurred was in may 2018. At that time i had about 59,000+ miles on the vehicle. There are several complaints regarding this issue. A couple of certified mechanics stated that this part should last much longer than it has. I would like to start a class action lawsuit. Service bulletin #pit5361. |
