Chevrolet S10 owners have reported 3 problems related to power assist brake vacuum (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After only 4 years and less than 77,000 miles, this p/u experienced a failure in the diaphragm inside the brake booster unit. I have owned numerous vehicles for 10 or more years, both domestic and foreign, however, this is the first chevy. It is also the first, out of seven(7) to have this type of failure, period, much less this early. Have there been other reports of similar failures in the 1997 s-10 series? if not, can a survey be run to check?.

When the vehicle was turned off, the brake vacuum leaked causing brake failure when starting the vehicle. The mechanic replaced the check valve but the problem still exists. The engine died while driving,thee was not enough vacuum on the brake system to stop the vehicle. Gm stated that they had a lot of problems with the check valve and booster.

The brake pedal was hard to press due to the loss of vacuum assist after the vehicle sat over night. Ph.
