I have posted about this before:
The brakes are usually pretty sharp (only 35K miles) but sometimes when maneuvering, the pedal will be soft and pumping does not help. Take the foot off and try a couple of times and it is OK. On the road so far there has been no sign of anything amiss but at very slow speeds I can stop sharp and then the next press is soft - halfway down and little braking.
Today I drove into my garage and the brakes were suddenly quite hard but did not stop the car well at all. A few weeks ago I had very hard brakes and the car would not start until I had both feet on the pedal.
Today after the garage debacle, I felt the discs - the rear were stone cold and the front quite warm.
ANY ideas? If the rears were not working surely the car would indicate this?
When I tried to stop in my garage, the pedal was very soft and then pumped up hard and then is OK.
I am stumped
