No obligation. No pressure. Just a straight answer.
The brake booster amplifies the force from your foot so you don't have to stomp the pedal to stop the car. Most gas-powered vehicles use engine vacuum to do this; some newer and electric vehicles use an electric or hydraulic booster instead. When the booster fails, that assist goes away, and the pedal suddenly needs a lot more force to do the same job.
This is one of those issues that can sneak up on you, since the brakes still technically work, they just feel dramatically different. A hissing sound from the engine bay when you press the pedal is a common giveaway on vacuum-assisted systems.
If you suddenly need to press much harder than normal to slow down, the booster has likely lost its assist.
A hissing sound from the engine bay when you press the pedal often points to a vacuum leak in the booster.
A failing booster can create a vacuum leak that also affects how the engine idles when you brake.
Without proper assist, it takes more pedal effort and distance to bring the car to a stop.
