Soft brake persists after Brake Fluid Flush.
Hello all,
Now that summer is here and temperatures are rising above 90 (in this part of Maryland), I have been noticing a peculiar problem with my '92 Honda Accord. Especially on a hot day (though I am not sure about this correlation) after the car's been driven around for a bit, the brake pedals tend to get soft. Rather, at high speeds braking slows the car down. . . but the application of a persistent pressure causes the pedal to keep getting depressed without noticeable braking action. Pumping the brake resumes braking, and then it goes soft again until one releases and depresses the brake once more. The brake appears to work better during the initial braking action, and then gets soft after it has been depressed for a little while. There is no squealing, clinking, or any kind of noise or vibration. After reading these (very helpful) forums, I concluded that this may be due to water/gas contamination in my brake line, or a leaky master cylinder. I had the brake fluid flushed yesterday, and the entire brake system was checked out. There was no apparent leaks anywhere. . ..and the brake fluid levels have always been constant. Today, I still find the same soft brake pedal problem. It is hard to get advice from car mechanics on this, because the problem is moody and sometimes difficult to reproduce. The car starts out fine in the morning. What do you guys suggest I do to fix this problem? Sincerely, Subhamoy. |
