Brake Failure

[harippa]

Hi,

lost my brake on local road (thankfully just around the corner of my house). the brake pedal doesn't press down. its hard. anyone else had any problems like this? what could go wrong?

thanks in advance.

never heard of a brake pedal being too stiff. but it could be clogged lines or if there is enough moisture in the system that could lead to the master cylinder getitng corroded and it could fuse the bore and piston together but i have never heard of that happening or maybe the peddal mechanism froze? or maybe the abs is !Removed! up? either way you should get it checked out.

Might be your vacuum booster. Check for a vacuum leak.
