When driving the vehicle and needing to break the break padel will go all the way to the floor and almost not stop. Had break pads changed but the mechanic states there is a issue with the break line having air in them that cant be released. The car can not be driven safely. Would like someone to call me.
The brake pedal has a spongy feel and you can hear an audible "hissing" noise inside the car. The noise will go away as you apply different pressures to the brake pedal, but then will come back as soon as you maintain the same level of pressure. There is a know customer satisfaction program 13n02 (extended warranty for brake booster), and after reading the description and details of the program, the symptoms are identical. I called the dealer and after running the VIN number, I was told that my car did not qualify. I also know that it is not another brake component as the vehicle has brand new front and rear rotors, front and rear pads, and brand new brake fluid in the system. It is not very difficult to deduce that there's some type of vacuum leak (or air leak) when you hear hissing noises coming from the car. Vehicle is still driving, but problem continues to get worse and from what I've read on the internet, the brake booster will eventually fail and could cause a dangerous driving situation.
