Hello all...

I'm having an intermitant brake problem.

Here's the problem, when I step down on the brake pedal - there's very little resistance i.e. the brake pedal easily goes to the floor... I am able to stop but something is wrong there.

Again, the problem is intermitant, when I'm not having the problem the brakes work fine. I drove around trying to get it to happen but it wouldn't. The hand brake seems to be working normally also.

The brake fluid level looks good, and I don't see any fluid on my driveway.

Any ideas?

Likely the rubber cups in the master cylinder are cracked or worn. You need to rebuild it or replace it. The rubber parts of the brakes system do not last forever. If you haven't before, next lining change it would be good to rebuild or replace the calipers and wheel cylinders. Doing so prevents problems in a system you can't afford problems. It also slowly replaces the old brake fluid long before it becomes a problem.

I had a similar problem on my Civic. Sometimes the brake would work fine, but sometimes when I step on the pedal, it would start breaking, and then gradually start "falling through" to the floor. Eventually it would stop breaking.

Problem was solved by bleeding the brakes.

Had master cylinder replaced. All is well now...
