| Description of the problem | Driving at 70 mph and tried to push the brake pedal to take vehicle off cruise control. The brake pedal was so firm that i couldn't push it, almost like the brakes were frozen. Very scary situation on snowy roads and 70 mph. The problem occurred several times when it was cold. Since then the brake vacuum booster has been replaced but the problem has gotten worse. Now when i start the vehicle, i have to wait several seconds for vacuum to build up before the pedal softens up. The brake vacuum pump behind the drivers side headlamp has been replaced twice and problem still exist. |
