Hey guys,

I had the car for almost 2 years (00 TL), and I began to realize that when I depress the brake, the car stops, after the stop, then a few seconds later the pedal softly sinks in a little.

Now is that normal and is it done to relieve the tension? Or something is freaken wrong?

Is normal, my 99 does the same, it's the electronic brakes at work.

My '03 does the same thing.

then I guess its a cool thing. thanx the clarification

I had that on mine but noticed that it doesn't do it as much or if not at all when I got the brake pads replaced on my 03TL.

Theoretically, sinking pedal is a sign of failing master cylinder. But if it only sinks a little... I guess you are OK. Mine doesn't sink a bit ('00 TL)

Keep a eye on it. It is a symptom of a failing master cylinder or break booster. My 03 TL pedal sinks a little, and so does my 92 accord which has a new master cylinder.

Does anyone also think it could be a slight vacuum leak or a weak line too?

I thought that could be a tell tale sign as well - though very minor.

... assuming brake fluid resevior is topped off and such :-)
