While driving my car brakes on the city frontage road, noticed they became spongy and then a loss of brake functioning.. I would press on the brake pedal all the way to the floor and it would not respond. Would have to slow down about 1/3 block while applying brakes to get it to stop at intersections. Drove it to a brake shop and was told I needed to replace the power booster and brake master cylinder. Was told car by the mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and I decided to call a tow truck to return the car home safely.

When traveling on highway with cruise control engaged, a need for rapid braking resulted in a momentary "hard" brake pedal before disengaging cruise control. When stopped at traffic signal with foot on brake, pedal gradually sinks towards floorboard and feels soft and "mushy" attempt at braking while driving along at steady speed (50mph), the brake pedal was hard and resistant resulting in delayed braking action. Potential for accident.
