When trying to brake at low speeds the brakes lock up and feel like you or pushing through concrete. It is terrifying when you are coming down a hill, pulling a trailer, with your kids in the car. This happens frequently! I have had the brakes pads and rotors replaced with no changes. Pretty frustrating when you spend $50,000 on a vehicle and no one can tell you what the problem is.
When driving at slow speeds (restaurant drive-thru, stop and go traffic) I often find myself having difficulty pushing the brake pedal, as it is extremely hard to push down the pedal and the car will not come to a stop for 2-3 feet. I feel a strong vibration during this and a low pitched crunching sound, and cannot push the brake down. I am afraid I will have a collision. I did the 2019 recall in which the dealer recalibrated something with the brakes. But it I continuing to have problems, I took it back to the dealership to test the vacuum pump, but they said the "testing was normal" and they were not willing to drive it long enough to replicate the problem I was having, saying that it was worn rotors and brake pads that were causing the issue. I know what the car feels like when the rotors/pads need changing, and I do have slight vibration when braking at high speeds, but never where I have increased brake effort. Only at slow speeds and if I am pressing the brake multiple times.
Since may the brakes have not worked intermittently and to stop the car I had to press down as hard as possible. Early on I had the fluid levels and brake pads and rotors checked and was told they were fine so I was not sure of the problem until I saw a bulletin from your office. I then took it to the dealer who diagnosed it as low output from the vacuum pump. It cost nearly $700 to replace and in my opinion should be put on recall as it is very dangerous to have the brakes fail intermittently. I almost had a number of accidents due to this issue and had to have my vehicle pulled from the water when launching my boat.
Tamara recall. Vehicle failed to stop while applying brakes at a very slow speed. While pulling into a parking space, under 5mph, a heavy amount of pressure was applied to brake pads and vehicle failed to stop.
