WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE AND MANEUVER INTO A STALL AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES LOST POWER. THEY MADE A NOISE AS IF THE ABS KICKED IN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD AND THE BRAKES WERE BARELY FUNCTIONING. THE RECALL WAS FIXED ON MY TRUCK A FEW MONTHS BACK. THE TRUCK HAS 59K MILES AND THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENCE. HOPEFULLY, I CAN GET IT OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE SAFELY WHEN I GET HOME. WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. BASED ON WHAT I READ ON HERE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL.
