If your brake pedal suddenly feels stiff and hard to press, the problem might not be your brakes but the vacuum pump. This essential part creates the vacuum pressure your brake booster needs to make stopping easier. As our video explains, a failing pump can impact not only your braking but other critical systems as well.

Modern vehicles rely on a complex interplay of systems to deliver a safe and comfortable driving experience.
