| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On a road test for a customer i lost the brakes, as it developed a hard pedal without power assist. the condition was intermittent. upon investigation i discovered the vacuum hose from the back of the intake to the power booster was softened with oil contamination and had begun to collapse cutting off vac to the booster. i installed a new hose assembly but this came out of nowhere and could cause problems for any driver at any time. the vehicle was a 1995 chevy lumina 3.4 v6. clearance is very tight where the hose runs. i think gm should go to a hard hose instead of a performed rubber hose. the engine was not leaking oil. this failure was heat an normal wear. being these cars are 10 years old they are starting to fail. i suspect every vehicle with the 3.4 l engine will have this same problem not just the lumina. *jb |
