Everyone that has had this issue no doubt needs to report it via https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ Was backing down a drive way that was pretty steep riding my brakes and without warning BRAKES WERE STIFF AS HELL! Had to stand up on it adrenaline was all that helped me stop it. It is indeed the Vacuum pump/booster (not cheap either). What a joke ive seen hundreds of complaints on this, but no recall makes no sense, save your receipts i'll be getting a 3rd party to do mine with an aftermarket upgrade no doubt.
