Hi friends!
When I press the brake pedal, it makes a 'whoosh' air sound like bellows. It goes down quite a ways before it starts applying decent braking.
When at a stop (red light, for instance), the truck will want to creep forward and I have to press the brake pedal even harder.
Occasionally, as you push the brake pedal down harder and all the way down in order to apply more braking force to stop creeping forward, the brakes stop working completely and the car is just free to roll forward...
If you re-pump the brakes, they start 'operating' again.
Master cylinder???
I've already done rotors, calipers, pads.
Also have a very small brake fluid leak. Doesn't appear to be at MC or any calipers.
ABS light has been on for 2 years. Never used ABS. Related?
Thanks for your time and help!
