brake problem please help

Don't know if iI can be of much help but this is what I would do.

Jack the beast up and remove wheels and inspect the brakes pads,rotors,drums and wheel cylinders( if you have them).
determine if your brake booster is air operated or by ps pump.
If air operated, check that the vaccum pump is operating. If the booster is operated by the ps pump, check that it is full of fluid.
Do you have any power steering problems?
Do you have any dash lights on? abs?

There are many changes on the psd since there introduction, It would be more helpfull to know year model.

I would suspect booster related problem but would check the entire system and repair the obvious.

over and out
