on my way home acouple minutes ago my brakes fucked up huge

when i went to slow down i had to push down all the way instead of pushing down a little bit as i usually do...

..could it be that i just have to refill the brake fluid?? ...wat do u guys think it is??..my ABS and E-Brake have been on the last couple of days but i thought that it was only because it was soo cold (-35)

hopefully its nothing too serious because i was planning on buying some coilovers in the next few weeks..

that happened im my legend..

there was a leak in the brake cylinder.. i had to fill my brake fluid every week... try checking the cap.. maybe its not on tight enough..

or it might even be your pads.. have u been braking alot lately? maybe u worn out all your brake pads.. thus u have to push it harder..

1.) check your pads
2.) check your pressure in your brake cylinder (and fluid level)

more then likely, you need to replace your master brake cylinder.............that happened to me once in my accord........it scared the living sh*t out of me!!

in the morning i'll check the fluid level but is the master brake cylinder expensive??

legendaryCL98

i would think so..

there could be air in your lines..bleed the system before changing any parts

well i put some brake fluid in this morning and the ABS and E-brake light went off but the brakes are still messed...

Hobo

well you probably got air in the system, you need to bleed the air out..

was the fluid low? or did you just add some

the fluid was below minimum, so i just topped it off...then the ABS and e-brake lights went off but the brakes were still messed..

you either have air in your brake lines and/or you could also be leaking brake fluid. you should check it asap especially the type of weather we're getting here latley around toronto. try going to canadian tire or a small garage

ya like Dec 17th..so thats y its going back to the guy that certified it..

azian21485

filling brake fluid and bleeding the brakes are two different things

acleco

if the guy who certified it is the same guy who sold it, they have t fix it. i would get a second opinion too, just in case.
