when you depress the brake pedal it is very to push down, like there is no power brakes. There are not warning lights. Brakes themself are fine. Also when you pres on the brakes it makes a hissing noise like air is escaping

You have a faulty brake booster. The big can thing between master cylinder and firewall.
