While coming to a stop from a good high riding solid feeling brake pedal you get a brief loss of preassure allowing you to roll ahead another 2-3 feet before you come to a full stop. This is a non ABS model with low mileage fresh brakes all around. I was thinking master cylinder. Braking under normal preassure seems to work fine its just whne you press the pedal hard you get the momentary loss of stoppping power. OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS SCOTT400F@YAHOO.COM

Your thinking was right on the money-master cylinder has an internal leak
