Hi,

I wonder if any one can help me I have a fiat multipla that I bought 2 months ago. It has been working well until yesterday. My husband drove the car yesterday and noticed a sqweaking noise when he pressed the brakes. He assumed the break pads needed changing. My husband went to use car again today. He drove to shops fine. But when he came back to car and tried to drive home. He found the break pedal very hard and almost impossible to push down and could not turn steering wheel. After a bit of pumping he got the breaks working and was able to drive slowly home. But now at home. The same thing. The brake pedal is so hard you can't really press it down. The pedal is this hard when engine is off and on. And can't turn steering wheel. What do you think the problem is. My husband was thinking perhaps the brake servo has gone. But when you switch the engine on the pedal does drop a tiny bit but can't be pressed.

Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance
I did not ask for rude answers don't bother answering questions whenyou clearly don't have the knowledge to answer them. We were just trying to work out what the problem is so we can work out how much it is going to cost to fix so can work out wether to have fixed or just scrap and buy new car.
 
i positively sure the shop might have messed it up some how. It probably be the brake servo/booster but i doubt it if the car is recently new. take it back to the same shop and COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN!!!! brakes are all the way fixable and shouldn't give you further trouble once fixed so dont be tight about it.
 
You obviously don't have the knowledge to fix this problem yourselves so take it to a garage.
 
the hard pedal sounds like the brake booster has a hole in it ! that would explain the reason for the hard pedal and besides it would create a vacuum leak and cause the engine to stall and if it did he would have a hard time steering it !
