Engine off, pressing on the brake pedal three times to release the reserve vacuum, reach a very hard pedal when only depressed about a half an inch.
With the engine running, the pedal goes down about an inch and a half. Never experienced this on other power brakes I have or had. With my other vehicles, doesn't make any difference with the amount of pedal depression, engine running or not. But a huge difference on the amount of pressure required to stop the vehicle with the engine off.
Supra or motorhome for example, even my daughter's Soul, that is a vehicle by the way, strange name. With the engine running, pedal only goes down about a half an inch, with very little pressure to stop the vehicle. But on my Cruze, this depression is more like an inch and a half, quite a bit more depression than other vehicles.
Is your Cruze this way? Typically a solid rod between the brake pedal and the master cylinder, even with power assist. But something in that brake booster is permitting that pedal to do down a lot farther.
If I switch the engine off while coasting in neutral, then get only a half inch of depression, but sure have to step on it hard to stop this Cruze. But only a half an inch.
