Description of the problem | My wife complained about her brake pedal going farther down and car takes longer distance to stop. A couple times she said the brake pedal went all the way to the floor so she pumped the pedal and said she was very lucky it stopped right before she would have hit something or someone. Brake light then would come on while driving down road without even touching the brake pedal. Afraid to drive it we brought it to dealer. They ended up replacing the brake booster at my expense. We had a recall done previously on the booster because the booster would get water in it so their fix was to put a guard over the already damaged rusted booster. If tested good at that time, they washed their hands of any damaged like rust that would eventually cause severe damage and cause the booster to do this. That's like putting shingles over a bad roof that leaked and is rotted. Can you imagine the accidents that could and eventually will happen. I am sure some have happened already. The number one thing on a vehicle you do not try to short cut is brakes!!!! |
