Nothing like your brake peddle hitting the floor while exiting the freeway at 65 to get your heart started in the morning.
So, north bound 280 exiting to 92 and my brake peddle hits the floor (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) ! I manage not to hit anyone and coast to a surface street. After limping down the street a bit, 10 mins, the brake peddle came back and I was able to stop again. Was this brake fade? Seems unsafe to drive home but???? I've done all brakes in the past three months and bleed the brakes. Could it have been just a bubble I missed or pure brake fade? Thoughts? Thanks T |

I'd say if you can't find anything wrong, replace the master cylinder anyways. If it happens again before you get to that, try pumping the pedal. It may give you some braking back.
