Don't play around with that one man. Something is definitely wrong with your brakes. We want you to be around to stay. If you are in MD, my cousin can help. Pm me if you are close by.

i would say that the guys recommending you to check the vacuum line is a good call. Possible you are not getting the assist that the brake booster is supposed to supply.
