| Intermittently when the brake pedal was applied the vehicle would not stop. when this occurred, excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, which results in extended stopping distance. a failure in the brake vacuum air pump caused this problem to occur. when this part failed there was no indication of power loss until the brake pedal was applied. the brake vacuum air pump failed every 5 years and needs to be replaced. *ak *jb | |||
