Description of the problem | The truck has less than 100 miles on it. I had been driving at 55 and entering town. Slowed to 45, then 35, then 25 mph. Had a slow coast down hill approx 200 yds at 25mph while lightly on the brakes. I attempted to stop as i was approaching a stopsign. The brake pedal pushed deeper than usual, was very hard, and i did not have much stopping force. I had to stand very hard on the pedal to get it stopped and my stopping distance was greater than usual. Had there been a pedestrian crossing the street there would have been a big problem. As a let off the pedal to cross the intersection, there was a surge like the engine was stuck on fast idle or like when accelerating from a low rpm brake stand. After that short incident, brake function was back to normal and i drove the vehicle home without another issue. |
