2 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 02/20/1998

Brakes fail to stop vehicle in wet / icy conditions; pulls to right in panic stop conditions; brake pedal goes to floor if braking occurs over rough surface, such as rr tracks that causes the truck bed to bounce slightly and doesn't recover in time to avoid potential accident; problem only occurs at irregular intervals so has been difficult for dealer to diagnose.
