Brake booster failure like main others with this model and year, I was unable to stop and the car has been sitting in the garage for a while. I had someone come over and replace it because with how it was I was afraid to even drive it. I was out of warranty and extended warranty since its a 2010 with 140,000 miles on it.
So now I can stop again, the brake pedal moves again and the car is able to stop. Now though the pedal has to be pushed much farther down to get the car to stop. It will stop the car and slam everything dead if I hammer on it but it seems like I need to push more to get the same level of stopping power. I don't think its my mind playing tricks on me but I cant confirm or deny anything since its been a while since it was working right.
Now that I can drive it is it worth taking to a mechanic to have them see what's going on? I don't even know how to describe it other than I was expecting the sensitivity to be a little higher so I could push the pedal less and break more. Does that make sense?
