1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 09/01/1998

There has been an ongoing brake problem with this vehicle. When traveling 30 - 40 mph and approaching a stop sign or light. You will get a very hard brake and go thru the intersection before the brakes actually stop the truck. This does not happen every day only occasionally, but on going the truck has been to the dealer with this same problem at 19,000 miles and they could find no problem the truck finally lost all brake power and is at the dealer now with the problem being with the hydraulics and brake booster. The dealer refused to take care of the problem because the truck has 44,000 miles on it. We first complained about this problem in Jan 99( invoice # ctcs50319), I would like this problem noted in case of a future problem with the brake system in this vehicle.
