Foot Brake

Recently, I've been experiencing noise from my foot brake. Actually, it sounds like air leaking from a tire but coming from the foot brake. This specifically happens when releasing the brakes during heavy traffic ( a lot of stop & go). Then it graduates to a high pitch noise every time I release the brakes. However, once traffic subsides and moving along......the brake noise goes away. Any clues??

That is typically a bad brake booster.

RE: Foot Brake

I have been experiancing the same problem, does it need immidiate replacement?A quick tap on the brake usually makes the sound go away but it still really bugs me!

RE: Foot Brake

Well the brake pedal will slowly get harder and harder like if the car was off and you were trying to stop.
