Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Brake pedal becomes hard to press and requires extreme force to stop the vehicle, sometimes even at low speeds of 20-30 mph.
- A hissing sound is heard from the brake system when the pedal is depressed, which owners link to brake booster vacuum leaks.
- Some owners report the brake booster failed internally or had failed vacuum seals, requiring dealer diagnosis and replacement.
- In at least one case, brakes reportedly failed to stop the car despite full pedal pressure, leading to a near-collision.
