While driving my brake pedal became hard for about five minutes.While continuing to drive after twenty minutes I slowed down in traffic and the vehicle just went dead. I tried starting immediately but it would turn over but not start,I pushed the vehicle on the side of the road and tried starting again and it started and since then it seems to work fine but I am very uncomfortable. I changed the brake booster two months ago with a used one.Any advice will be appreciated. Thanking you in advance

I would be looking at the used booster you have fitted, hard brake is a result of a faulty booster or loss of vacuum, check this out first.
