Brake pedal drops.

[Green_92_EX]

TO DAY WHILE DRIVING TO A BARBEQUE: WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES, MY PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. SO BASICLY I HAVE BRAKES WHEN I FIRST PRESS BUT AFTER HOLDING FOR A SEC. IT DROPS TO THE FLOOR. SO I HAVE TO PRESS AND RELEASE REPETIDLY IN ORDER TO STOP QUIKLY. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS A LITTLE LOW, SO I FILLED IT UP BUT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMEONE SUGGESTED IT WAS MY MASTER CYLENDER GOING BAD COULD THIS BE THE CASE?

BTW. Sorry about the caps after i was half way doin typing I noticed.(but im to lazy to rewrite it all)

master cylinder is fucked....should see it leaking or the paint bubbling up around it and if not, then it may be leaking into the brake booster and if you don't fix it asap, you'll have to replace it too

[The G-Man]

Or it may not be leaking at all, just it is leaking internally. Replace ASAP.

i have had the same problem that you are experiencing, but mine mysteriously dissapeared and it works fine now, probably gonna fix soon though. it could be a few things leaking booster but most likely it is a leaking seal inside the master cylinder, you could buy a kit to rebuild but i would recommend buying a new one. you can still drive just make sure that when your pedal sinks, pump the brakes a few times to build the pressure back up and you should be fine, or just use the parking brake

hope this helps

after you replace the master cylinder, don't forget to bleed your brakes

could this be an ABS problem?

[HondaGuy1212]

could this be an ABS problem?

hmm i highly doubt it but its a possibility like everyone else posted its most likely his master cylinder has gone bad

[elositocandela]

i have the same problem any other suggestions?

[mondojackal]

idk..anytime, and for a while after it happened, any time that i braked really hard in my blazer, the ABS would engage, and after that, idk what it was, but it took a while for the braking to come back to normal ability..

It's the master cylinder, no questions asked.
