Hi everyone.
Today I experienced brake failure on my way to class. I was driving and as I steped on the brake pedal, the pedal went almost to the floor, but there was still a little brake power left, enough to stop the car but not nearly as it should. The pedal felt soft and "spongy". Also the brake light came on! I also noticed a hissing noise when I step on the brake, as if air was leaking from somewhere. The noise has been there before but the brake still worked fine.
Another problem I had before this was that when I steped on the brake a little harder, the left rear wheel locked That one I didn't understand since it started suddenly!
Has anyone heard or had similar problems?
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks for your help.
