SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH BREAKING, BREAKS GET HARD AND GO TO FLOOR, WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR BACKING UP TO A PARKING SPACE. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IT'S A BIG SAFETY CONCERN.

BRAKES BECAME INCREDIBLY HARD AND ALMOST DID NOT STOP MY TRUCK THREE TIMES NOW. FINALLY, THIS LAST TIME THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM HOPING THEY WILL NOW THAT THE WARNING CAME ON. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THIS AND HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME AS I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS (THANKFULLY).

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BTAKING SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY HARD TO ENGAGE AND CREATES A NEED FOR AN UMEXPECTED LONGER STOP DISTANCE/TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AND CAN EASILY CAUSE AN IN INCIDENT AND POSSIBLE INJIURY/FATALITY. IT GIVES A 'BRAKE ASSIST ERROR'WHEN THIS OCCURS.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I TRIED STOPPING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND TRUCK KEPT GOING ALMOST HITTING A PARKED CAR I FELT A VIBRATION IN BRAKE PEDAL AND IT FELT HARD TO PRESS TRUCK HAS ABOUT 29K MILES

DURING SLOW TRAFFIC SITUATION BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS WITH LOSS OF BRAKING TO THE POINT OF ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

THE BRAKES BECOME HARD AND RESIST DEPRESSION, OR REQUIRE AN INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT WITH NO STOPPING ABILITY, IF YOU TAP OR PRESS THE BREAK. EXAMPLE IN TRAFFIC OR REVERSING OUT THE DRIVEWAY.THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT 20 MPH OR LESS. I DID HAVE AN ISSUE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES, PRESSING THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY WHICH HARD TO DO AND MADE ALL KINDS OF NOISES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2017.

LOSE POWER BRAKING ABILITY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. TWO PEDAL DEPRESSIONS AND BRAKES BECOME VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE. SUSPECT FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS PARKING OR BACKING UP, I FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCE A VERY FIRM OR HARD BRAKE PEDAL. THIS RESULTS IN VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. THE PROBLEM IS BEGINNING TO BECOME NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A MAINTENANCE SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR ARE ON BACKORDER AND IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW LONG THIS MAY TAKE. DUE TO THE PROBLEM BECOMING MORE FREQUENT I AM CURRENTLY NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE.

THE BRAKES BECAME REALLY HARD TO PRESS AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT IS GETTING WORSE. THE "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE A FAILURE IN THE VACUUM PUMP.

VACUUM PUMP IS LEAKING. WHEN I PUSH BRAKES IT GETS HARD AND TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STOP WHEN I PUSH BRAKES. I'VE ALREADY HAD BRAKES REPLACED AND IT STILL OCCURS AND I ALSO TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS VACUUM PUMP. MOTION, STREET, HIGHWAY, BRAKING
