Description of the problem	As i was driving less than a mile to work on a very cold new jersey morning my brakes felt unusually hard and high. As i pulled into the school parking lot, where i work, i stepped on the brakes to slow down on the decline of the road and they would not go down, they went down only about a centimeter or two, and i just kept pressing them. Again they felt extremely hard and high. There was a school bus full of children in front of me and i just prayed i would not rear end them. Thank god i was only doing 15 mph.... If any faster it would have been a nightmare!!!!! I called my dealer and they said do not drive it, have it towed here. I did have it towed that day and today i was informed i need a brake booster like many other people. They are back ordered and could take 3, yes three weeks because of the huge demand. I believe if i was going any faster than 15 mph lives would have been lost. :(
