Description of the problem | The problem has occurred twice in the last week. Both times in normal driving conditions and good weather conditions. While pulling in my driveway at low speed when i pushed on the brake pedal it was hard and would barely depress. There was no power assisted braking and it took me pressing as hard as possible with both feet to get my truck stopped before i hit my garage. This happened again when i was trailering my 1500 lb fishing boat. I was backing it down the ramp and brakes failed again. I had to again press brake pedal as hard as possible and use emergency brakes to stop. There was a noticeable grinding sound in the brakes while trying to stop. Again as if there were no power brakes. Both instances occurred while going 2 to 3 mph but if it happened in an area with pedestrians or at higher speeds it could result in serious property damage and injuries. Please look into this and force gm to take corrective action asap. |
