I have posted before about a low brake pedal, the vehicle stops fine. But while stoped in traffic and holding pressure on the brake pedal, it will drop slowly very close to the floor. This does not seem normal to me. I took it to the dealer today and explained that I thought maybe the master cylinder was leaking internally.
The brake fluid level is up to the top, so no external leaks. The dealer stated that the front rotors were badly pitted and needed new pads, so I told him to replace them. The brakes are not any better as far as I'm concerned.
The dealer stated because of the 4 wheel disc brakes that this is normal ??? I have a very hard time accepting that.
Can anyone else verify that their pedal will go very close to the floor when stopped and applying pressure ??
He also stated that if there was an internal leak the brake light would come on when the pedal drops, no light is on ???
Thanks for any help Ed
