Galaxie500XL Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've not really had an issue with brakes on the Cutlass...till yesterday. Had to stop from 50 MPH when a light turned red unexpectedly. Pressed the brakes HARD...car made a leisurely stop from 50, it DID stop, but as hard as I was pressing the pedal, it should have practically stood on it's nose. Brakes feel fine at lower speeds, pads are less than a year old, semimetallics on the front, ceramic on the rear, 4-wheel disc brakes. Any idea where to start looking? Panic stops stink!

RobertISaar Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 seems possible based on what his results. i still don't know how the booster can partially fail, but apparently it's common enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
