Service Brakes
When traveling at low speeds on a downhill grade for example backing into a parking space the brakes sometimes fail by requiring extreme foot pressure to stop and requiring extra braking distance. It's happened about 20 times over the last year and it is so sporadic and unexpected that it scares you to death when it does. It also happens in stop and go traffic when the truck is slowly creeping down a light grade.
