Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When towing a small camper and traveling at slow speeds my brake becomes hard and must be pressed very hard to slowly stop the car. This does not happen all the time but has happened multiple times and is quite scary. The vehicle travels further before stopping than with proper braking which has the potential of putting me in a dangerous situation. Dealer says it is a vacuum pump beginning to fail but there are no pumps available nationwide so i cannot have it repaired! Notes about dates and mileage are for the last occurrence and as close as i can recall for each. |
