WHEN LOCKING DOORS PASSENGER REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN PARKED HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK

BRAKES BECAME HARD TO PUSH AND TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. IT STARTED OFF WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THEN DRIVING FORWARD SLOWLY. THAT WAS LAST FALL. NOW THE BRAKES ARE HARD TO DEPRESS ALL THE TIME, AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO USE BOTH FEET. BROUGHT IT TO MECHANIC SHOP AND IT IS THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP.

I LOSE POWER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS THE PEDAL GETS VERY STIFF TO WHERE I CAN ALMOST NOT EVEN STOP. IT EVEN STARTED GETTING WORSE AT HIGH SPEEDS NOW

WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY, ANOTHER VEHICLE CHANGED LANE INTO MY LANE WHICH FORCED ME TO BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION, BUT BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND REQUIRED MORE FORCE THAN USUAL TO APPLY THE THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE AND BUT HAD TO PULL OVER TO A PARKING LOT CHECK ON MY FAMILY WHO WERE SHAKEN UP ABOUT THE ORDEAL. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES TO SEE IF IT RESETS THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT A FEW TIMES, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE AND A BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE MESSAGE WAS NOW SHOWING.

BRAKES BECAME HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND COULD BARELY STOP. LUCKILY I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND THE SIDEWALK LEDGE STOPPED ME. NOW WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE BRAKES WILL ONLY PUSH DOWN ABOUT AN INCH THEN ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PUSH DOWN TO STOP. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY THE VACUUM PUMP.

ON 4/2/2019 WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH, SLOWED TO MAKE LEFT TURN. WHILE MIDWAY THROUGH INTERSECTION, ENGINE DIED, DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES GONE. WITHIN SECONDS EVERYTHING POWERED BACK UP AND ENGINE RESUMED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. WARNING INDICATORS WORDS FLASHED BRIEFLY. I CAUGHT "STABILITRACK". I DROVE FOR ANOTHER MILE AND AS I WAS ENTERING DRIVEWAY ABOUT 5 MPH AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, ENGINE AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED AGAIN. PRIOR TO ALL THIS HEADLIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND THERE WAS A LITTLE DEADENING IN THE POWER STEERING. TRUCK HAD 72,950 MILES. I CHECKED THE GROUNDING POINTS AND CLEARED OUT THE DEADENING MATERIAL THAT SLIGHTLY IMPEDED IT. NOT SURE THIS WILL HELP. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON 6/22/18 AT 64,888 MILES, I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME TOOK IT IN TO SHOP. THEY TIGHTENED THE GROUNDING BOLTS (G218) AND CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS. I GUESS IT HELPED UNTIL RECENTLY. IT COST $180.

AIRBAG SENSOR SERVICE LIGHT GOES ON FOR A WHILE THEN GOES OFF FOR A WHILE IF NOT MOVING WHEN THE SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON STAYS ON IF THE SERVICE LIGHT IS OFF WHEN NOT MOVING IT STAYS OFF
