I suspect my old Kia Spectra had this problem. Now my new RAV4 feels way too sensitive. It feels like cheating, like I should be getting a workout every time I break!

It’s always amazing how bad brakes can go and still keep you alive. They tell you so many ways it’s time to change them, but they still let you drive and drive. But don’t do that!

I remember watching a mechanic diagnosing a hard brake pedal thinking it was the booster, but turned out to be rusted calipers seized together completely... If your in the northern region I recon that would be good to note as well.

Better than brakes failing and hearing a kid scream

Thank you very much. I am not at all mechanically inclined including hanging curtain rods, but I throughly enjoy your videos very much. I am quite fortunate to have found a reliable mechanic who I trust.

With mine, it's the opposite, hard when truck is off, start it, the brakes don't work.

There's many tests for brake boosters, this is one of many. Mine has a minor leak but not enough to warrant a replacement yet. It eventually makes the engine run lean after a while. It looks like it was replaced with a Bosch unit (mine is an 07 ES) by the previous owner but it has failed. You can actually have your current one in your car rebuilt rather buying a rebuilt unit as well. But a lot of cars it's a pain to get to the boosters, they're so deep in you have to disassemble half of the area. Thankfully mine has direct access.

The only thing I like about modern vehicles are modern brakes. UV glass and apple car play are great too lol, but that's about it. Everything else should be simple and mechanical.

super great tip Scotty... brakes so important... also watch out for any rusty brake or gas fuelines ( both run mostly parallel together).. if see any drips spots on ground... Check them out look up under if lines rusty w lot miles .. live up north Watchout!.. lost my brakes '97 H Accord complete failure when brake line rusty let go somewhere all pressure gone.. pedal to floor.. small ( very lucky) fenderbender, thru red lite intersection omg..finally stop only by emerg brake..( but car totalled) only going 20mph..very lucky... Watch out for rusty brake lines.. leaks.. drips spots on ground.

How you stopped this ?

It's not the booster that costs so much, it's the labor , a booster can be bought new for around $80, labor is what costs

Make sure the check valve going into the booster is working properly.

Thank you for Sharing Scotty 🙏🏾💪🏾

When I was 18 I drove a 98 XJ with a bad booster for a few months, I had to use both feet and push myself against the seat to brake.

Thanks, Scott. My brake booster just went out today. 2024 May 7th. I'm about to go buy one for my Toyota Camry 6 cylinder. Year 2000. $299 in California. Thanks for the information.

I love your energy tans passion for your knowledge !!!! 💪🤠🤚 Power On !!!!

Thank you for this information Scotty

Work perfectly fine 😂😂😂 favorite line

Thanks Scotty! Looks like my master cylinder may have went. Have an 01 Impreza. Had a leak in my drivers side brake hose. Replaced both the front, went to bleed all 4 brakes and brake pedal still goes to the floor. Stiff went pumped with the car off, but when turned on, the pedal goes to the floor, so that gives me an indication the booster is still working. Anything else I should be looking for as to what is causing it to drop to the floor still? Any advice is appreciated. No other visible leaks.

Thank you Scotty!

What about if the pedal is normal with car off but once you start it the pedal goes all the way to the floor and it seems to have 0 brakes????

my brakes started failing only while I'm turning. it also makes loud cracking and popping noises breaking while turing (ford fusion 2009 sel). i have to make sure i stop all the way before i turn. it's a fairly odd case anyway that you're braking while turning. but i'd still like to have the option.

What if your car brakes no problem but the pedal if you press hard enough goes to the floor. No leaks, but when I pump the pedal there is no pressure build it. But again it brakes well just feels spungy

Thanks for the help again

Checking booster is easy pump brakes without running pedals hard keeping foot on pedal start car pedal should fade down a little.

How to tell if it's the front or rear roter is warped

Thank you brother

Can somebody tell me what the opposite of this problem is?! When the car is off/Toyota Tacoma, foot on the brake is nice and hard/normal, but when I start the car, I can put the pedal/brakes all the way to the floor without any braking!!

Scotty.... when my brake booster goes bad, I always spank it. GIve it a try once...!!! ;-)

Thank you Mr.Kilmer

What if you change the break pads and it keeps fouling

Thanks for the info

Here's a easier way to say it. Pump your brake pedal a few times until it stiffens up. Then turn the vehicle on and the pedal should soften up.

So what if they feel normal and the pedal is firm when it is not running then when you start it the pedal is kinda firm but goes pretty much to the floor new calipers new brake pads and new brake shoes and drums

What if its the other way around and the car wont start because of a stiff break pedal? Standard transmission

It Called Brake Servo In My Country

I have a weird one. My abs sensor and traction control light turned. I already know the pedals will feel funny because of the ABS being turned off and on so the brake feeling would change. I noticed that when the ABS was back on my brake got very sensitive, one little tap, the car would be stopped like I had pressed the brakes hard. I also pressed the brakes hard and for sure it stopped quickly. I have already replaced all the sensors and also did a line test and I had a good signal on all the harnesses and sensors. There are no leak anywhere. If you have experienced this issue or how to go about further diagnosing the issue. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

So what if before starting the car , it’s still super stiff?

What about a wheel cylinder? Similar symptoms when they fail? 🤔

What about when I get off the highway on my way to work and the steering wheel shakes when I’m braking?

Brake boosters are a luxury, and sometimes they make the brakes a little too touchy for me especially on newer cars. It's not absolutely necessary to have a brake booster to stop safely.

I have a Lexus GX. I have noticed while driving, sometimes while pressing the brake pedal looks like is stuck then it goes down..its scary. What could be the problem?

I got handed down the 05 wk1 Jeep love it to death grew up in it, seen its days lol anyways I always thought my breaks were a lot worse than the rest of the family cars pads good rotors are ok but I sure gotta get on em to slow down

I just take it to the shop.

what if its hard to push with the car off and with the car on it feels normal

What if the brakes go to the floor

Looks like you're doin a house call Scotty. Some how I'm not surprised👍

What about the check valve? I have an issue now with my 2012 Cruze and I read that the check valve may be going bad, since it ONLY has happened (so far) when I am hitting high RPMs, while accelerating. Is what I read accurate? I am up to almost $1,000 this year, with thermostat+sensor issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What if the break pedal is not hard all of time

Hello here's my problem somehow engine oil is inside my brake booster and vacuum what do I do? And what would cause it?

What if the brake pedal is super soft like mine? It was soft and weak for a while then gave out completely

Or a caliber has broken or is cracked usally it will make a smell too

Fred Flintstone style brakes would be cheaper!

My transit has a hard brake pedal, checked all the discs, pads, calipers and the vacuum and all seems well....any ideas. Brake pedal really stiff and braking is poor but weirdly when revs are over 1500rpm and left foot braking the pedal operates normally.

These are the kind of brakes that are on the cars in my dreams coz apparently they car always struggle to slwo down 😅

Hi, my 2013 mazda cx5, recently my brake pedal becomes very hard at the first push on the morning after i stop using car for a night. it was normal feeling when i start the engine. Is the problem due to brake booster or vacuum line or the vacuum vulaue?

Thanks 👍

I’m so upset I did my brakes and rotors today, cleaned all the parts greased the guide pins the whole 9 and they still make noise! Not a squeak just a rub noise. I’m so pissed 😂

What if it’s hard when on or off both?

Getting to the booster is pain tho

Had a Toyota 4 runner with this problem at 300k miles, guys wanted to 2000 to replace it, I just sold the car, this was before I knew anything about cars, I wish I would’ve known at the time because I could have easily replaced it and the car would’ve been fine, I believe it had a new transmission put in it at one time (it was my brothers car before mine) so it had a lot of life left in it, what a waste

i went many years without ever changing a booster in the shop. and they were fairly cheap. Now its common they fail and hundreds to replace.

same to me, works normal until I'm at a stop then no brakes. also engine can idle funny. took it to a mechanic and confirmed bad booster but wants $600.

I drove 30 miles with a failed booster. It wasn't really that bad but my legs are pretty strong.

No! it means the engine is not on and you are rolling down a hill ... just forget the car and jump out 😂

I just had a collision where the master cylinder was pressed on by the fuse box, no noticeable damage to the exterior of the master cylinder but the brake lines were pushed over a little (not pinched). My brake pedal is acting like the system is not getting enough vacuum, the pedal becomes stiff, BUT the brakes are EXTRA sensitive and do not fully disengage unless I come to a complete stop and force the pedal to the floor for a full range of motion of the pedal. If I'm in slow but moving traffic where I only partially brake, not coming to a complete stop, the brakes stick/drag and if I'm on the highway the truck starts shaking because it's like I'm riding the brakes and they're heating up so I have to pull onto the shoulder, stop completely and fully force the stiff pedal to the floor and release in order for the brakes to release. The idiots at the dealer said it's not a result of the collision, just a coincidentally failed vacuum pump. They're idiots, the brakes work, TOO good, the OPPOSITE of what happens with low vacuum. but the pedal is stiff, the breaks are SUPER touchy. What's the deal? Before I go play process of elimination, throwing random parts at the problem. 2017 Silverado, L86

@jsin8731

Vacuum pulls pressure out and pressing brake pedal causes pressure pushing in the fluid along with the pistons/pads so low vacuum means there sticking and not releasing right away the vacuum is the problem

You guys this is happening right now to my 99 toyota 4runner i've been praying and thinking whats wrong for like a month now and nobody wants to help me really but now that i was smart enough 😅😂 to know what to search for thank God for scotty hopefully it isnt the booster because i dont have 600 or 800 dollars

Bruh I had this go 5 times on my PT cruiser. Car was amazing but the brakes kept going

RIP

Scott how many miles on that car with bad booster ...over 300k possibly?

My vehicle doesn't have a booster and the brakes are always the hard and mostly work off the combination of prayer and quenching my butt cheeks harder than holding a fart in at church. If it weren't for it being a stick, I don't believe I'd honestly manage to stop

Why you yelling? 😂

It means you don't have POWER brakes the brakes will still work
