Why did my brakes randomly stop working?
This can be due to a number of problems: a leak in a brake line, a loss of pressure within the master cylinder itself due to a failed seal, or air being introduced into the braking system. Your first reaction to encountering spongy brakes should be to rapidly pump the brake pedal with your foot.
Why are my brakes not engaging?
Check your vacuum booster if the brake pedal feels hard. A faulty or malfunctioning booster is the primary cause of a hard break pedal. If you feel like you can’t push your pedal down very far or the pedal feels too stiff, the vacuum booster is probably behind it. Test the pedal out to see if the booster is working.
