have 1997 formula lt350 disc on all fours. brakes are harder to push and stop the car only when it rains. almost acts like the fronts are not stopping the car. when the air is dry the brakes and pedal feel fine. any one know of a recall on this problem. any and all help welcome.

Man I work at a Pontiac Dealer.
let me get this right.
when its wet the brakes are hard to push and dont stop well
but when its dry they are fine
Is that right

That doesnt make sense, the brake system is closed
If the brakes become hard to push
you have a Vaccum issue. either a stuck check valve. or a booster that is going away.
the weather shouldnt effect this.
Now it is possible that the EGR is sticking slightly. this will cause engine vac to go away
and in turn will effect your brakes.
any check engine lights?
