Front brakes magically stopped working!
So I was driving around town yesterday doing errands car was fine, then a heavy downpour in the area (car was in garage) then yester night Im trying to go out to an event and the cars pedal is soft as a sponge and brakes don't work...maybe the back will stop the car a little bit but no front brakes.
I did have the vdc, slip, brake lights on for about 2 months now and I read that adding a little brake fluid will make the lights go away...which it did for 3 weeks. It feels like there is air in the system and pumping them will bring the resistance back but for only like a few seconds. also no leaks anywhere. |

Did you expect the problem to magically disappear? |
haha im told that problem exists when the brake fluid is a little low hence I filled it up earlier but im just confused if fluid is full, pads and rotors have enough meat on them what else can be the issue.
I would go to my mechanic but he is closed sunday |
So many possibilities, we can't cure them here!
