If you are in stop-and-go traffic for an extended period of time, it is known that these pumps will fail. In such circumstances, clutch usage is necessary constantly, which puts the pump under an excessive load and leads it to fail. The clutch mechanism doesn’t start working again until it has totally cooled down.

4. Stiff brake pedal
   

   

   This issue has been noted in vehicles prior to the 2018 i20 models. These vehicles come with vacuum-boosted power brakes. The brake booster’s function is to augment the braking power by increasing it. The driver’s effort is significantly reduced by the existence of this braking assist. It has been noted that the brake pedal can occasionally get so stiff that even standing on it does not activate the brakes in a number of i20s. A broken brake vacuum servo is the reason of this odd pedal firmness. The vacuum boost is misaligned by a broken servo, which does the reverse of the function and makes it harder to press the pedal.
