| Description of the problem | Brake booster was leaking into the master cylinder causing reduced braking efficiency and poor brake operation. Brakes were also catching when releasing the brake pedal from use. Low brake fluid levels in the reservoir were observed along with the illumination of the brake warning light due to low fluid levels. When fluid was topped off, the illumination light turned off, but brake catching problems continued. Dealer replaced master cylinder and brake booster and the problem was resolved. Dealer stated that the leak between the two components was the issue. I was charged approximately $800 for the repair. |
