| Description of the problem | Brake booster - i noticed that whenever i came to a stop or slowed down - my car would continue to roll slightly even though i pressed down very hard on the brakes. The pressure of the brake pedal became very stiff and would not allow me to press down on it too much and it felt as if it was going to lock. I eventually had to put my car in neutral whenever i came to a stop just to be cautious and prevent it from possibly rolling into a vehicle or pedestrian crossing the street in front of me. Also, when at a complete stop, the brakes would tighten, my car would make an air pressure noise and began to almost stall or vibrate a little as if it would shut completely down. I did not take the toll road for safety reasons due to the hills so i immediately went to the lincoln dealership and i'm now out of pocket $786. 00 later because my brake booster went bad. Very frustrating since four months ago i had radiator problems and had to replace the cooling regulator to my radiator and replace the hose which was over $1,200. |
