A hissing sound coming from the brake pedal area began occuring and I took to the car to the dealer and was informed that it was a defective "brake booster" and that it is a very dangerous situation that if not corrected could lead to total brake failure. The car is used twice a week and the brake booster has not been replaced and is available for inspection.

The information panel gives the following warnings: brake failure stop safely asap (t2 goes to ------) stc service required' when this happens the cruise control doesn't work. We have called the dealer to find out what to do. He says to bring the car in when the message is showing. The message comes and goes and isn't consistent enough to be able to take it to the dealer when it is on. We were told that the brakes should work without the ABS feature. The dealer has moved to 45 miles from our house. We believe that this is a false warning.
