I have an '02 Jetta auto with 75k miles that has just developed a brake problem. I'm very easy on this car and still have the original brake pads. I had a bad brake switch replaced under warranty a few months ago and at that time had the brake fluid changed and brakes bled. Brakes felt and worked fine.
Yesterday I was sitting at a light with my foot lightly on the brake when the pedal suddenly moved away from my foot towards the floor. It then popped back with a hissing sound. This happened a few more times during the day. The last time it happened I was slowing down to a stop light at about 20mph. The pedal pulled away from my foot towards the floor and almost locked the brakes for a split second before popping back with the hissing noise. If anyone was too close behind me I would have been rear ended.
Any thoughts on what this may be caused by? Booster problem? MC? Anyone have a similar experience?
