TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DRIVES OVER A DAMP PATCH ON THE ROAD AND APPLIES THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND RECALLS AND TSB'S ON HIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 99I006000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK); THEREFORE, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND REPAIRED FOR FREE SINCE THE FAILURES ARE IDENTICAL. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.
