Inquired about a whistling / wind sound from car interior driver side, turns out it was a failing brake booster. Wife reported brake system acting up...almost hit a car because couldn't stop, said brake pedal would not depress enough. I didn't think much of it and thought problem was possibly her...then when we picked up the car after the throttle body cleaning it did again and was equally dangerous / scary. I had her turn right around and take the car right back and told them that the problem had occurred again and that it had been going on intermittently since the brake booster was replaced during the last repair trip. After evaluating the brake system, dealership concluded it was some excess air in the lines from the brake booster replacement and bled them a little more which has fixed the problem. |
