My brakes suddenly became hard to press, and my car became almost impossible to stop on the freeway, and there is a hissing noise coming from under the brake pedal. My car has less than 90,000 miles, and has had only one owner, and was always serviced at a licensed Ford dealership. There have been no aftermarket parts installed. In addition, my car has always been garaged, both at home and at work, and no one else has driven it. It appears that there is a faulty brake booster that should have been recalled and repaired for free by Ford. This is a very serious and potentially deadly defect.
