When I step on the brakes it gets really hard and will not stop. It happened to me in a parking lot. I was pulling into a parking spot and did not stop. Then when I was driving down the road I rear-ended someone and I was not driving very fast. My concern is that if a child or car runs out in front of me I wil not be able to stop. This has happened several times now. I have paid mechanics to replace my brake pads, calipers, disc's because I do not want to hurt myself or someone else.
Brake pedal in the truck will occasionally go to the floor when the truck is in reverse. The problem seems to happen more when backing a boat trailer down a ramp at a boat launch where the truck is at an angle. Have lost brakes multiple times when doing that. Fluid is full in the reservoir and the mechanical portion (brake pads, rotors, calipers) checked out as fine.
Front brakes on left side stick and wear unevenly and rapidly. I have had front brakes replaced twice with 80% pad life on right side by midas. Midas stated that there is a service advisory to replace the left side piston/caliper and a new hose which is larger allowing the brakes to release properly.
