Lexus Is300 2005 brake malfunction. When the consume attempted to apply the brakes, the vehicle would not stop, which resulted in the consumer hitting a parked vehicle. The consumer believed the brake booster failed.
As I prepared to make a right turn onto a busy street, I suddenly could not brake normally. Instead, I was unable to press the brake down as a balloon like feeling pushed it back up, but it also did not return all the way up to its normal position. The result was I was moving with no way to slow down the car. Fortunately, I was not moving at a high speed and immediately shifted into park. I was fortunate this did not occur while I was at full speed. The brake lights did turn on at the time of the Issue. An independent mechanic suspects a brake booster failure. Just a month before, another mechanic performed routine maintenance and found no signs of this Issue. Just 6 months before, I purchased the vehicle used with no mention of this sort of past Issue.
