so I lost my brakes today.
I didn't smash anything, but crapped my pants.
Came to a intersection brakes were fine, next intersection I had to really push down, to the point I had 2 feet pushing. I noticed the idle was choppy as well.
pulled over and popped the hood and my vacuum line to the brake booster was off.
so I slid it back on and it was all set.
I can't believe how hard it was to stop this car without power brakes!

i had a similar bowel-emptying experience when i was rolling the car out of the garage once but that was because the car was off

I worry about that your problem may be the indication of a more serious problem. The line's pressure is usually negative and it is quite seldom to be disconnected even without hose clamps.
But the disconnection is occurred when a too much positive pressure is applied to the line.
What does give the positive pressure?
A positive pressure there is usually caused by the abnormal combustion of the engine.
A skipped timing belt, a backfire, a bent valve or others may cause a positive pressure. Is your engine running fully OK?

I am due for a timing belt.
But the engine seams fine, runs strong, and no check engine light.
Maybe the clamp is just getting weak? I was able to slide the hose with the clamp back on by hand with no tools.
Tomorrow I will take the timing belt cover off and give it a look.

Omg! That is crazy i see this because mine did this last Saturday too. I did a little brake boosted acceleration run and had no brakes when approaching an intersection. My eyes almost popped out of my head. I was going to the movies and it barely was able to stop in the parking spot. I couldn't figure it out until I started the engine up again and walked around and heard the signature hiss and popped the hood saw the hose popped off, slid it back on and all was good.
