Consumer Description

BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT WHILE HOLDING BRAKES ON AT A STOP. THE CAR WILL START TO ROLL FORWARD UNLESS MORE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. PUMPING THE BRAKES RESTORES PRESSURE. MY SHOP BLED THE BRAKES TWICE AND FOUND NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM. BLEEDING DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THEY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED... *TR
