The actuator will buzz every few seconds trying to keep pressure in the braking system to a safe operating level of gas pressure to no avail due to this leak in the actuator. After it quits buzzing from shutting the car off, you can hear the air leak hissing the pressure away. There is not much stopping distances when and after this suddenly occurs. In the process, the abs, traction control, brake, a yellow exclamation mark, lights suddenly all come on the dash at once and the brake feels like a sponge very suddenly. The brake booster pump may fail causing a deactivation of the vehicle stability control system and a loss of braking assist. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 126, electronic stability control systems. "" deactivation of the vehicle stability control system or a loss of braking assist increases the risk of a crash.
