Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Pulled out of parking lot on to road. applied brakes while approaching a light. even with both feet on the brake pedal the 1996 gmc jimmy barely came to a stop from a distance of 6 car lengths going 30 mph. narrowly avoided rear-ending vehicle in front of me. this was not the first time but the closet encounter. before this incident i had the front rotors, disk pads, calipers, front flex lines, booster, vacumm hose and connector on engine to booster, master cyl., and rear brake linings - replaced. since then i had the vacumm checked from the engine to the booster and was told the booster was bad. i had the booster and masterc replaced again. still no change. pedal goes too far down and feels like it hits a brick followed by very weak breaking action.*ak
