I need help
So my brakes went out yesterday morning on my way to work. I have basic knowledge of brakes but not enough to check them myself. I need one of you lovely gentlemen to please take a look at my brakes ans see if there is a reason behind why they went out.
I have talked to a couple of ppl that have has a similar problem and they all say it the MC.

i think anything is offered to help w/ these brakes bump
To check the brakes successfully in a severely cyanotic 7-year-old Japanese car who had a very rare type of double-outlet right ventricle. The malformation was associated with bilateral conus, 1-transposition of the great arteries, and subpulmonary ventricular septal defect without significant pulmonary stenosis in situs solitus. A large amount of subaortic conal musculature which separated the aortic valve from the subpulmonary ventricular septal defect was removed, as was the anterior rim of the ventricular septal defect. A tunnel, constructed with a woven Teflon prosthesis, was inserted in such a manner as to direct blood from the left ventricle through the defect and out to the aorta. The pulmonary outflow tract was reconstructed with a Teflon patch lined with pericardium. The car's postoperative recovery was uneventful, and it was doing well 3 months postoperatively. To our knowledge, no identical case with a similar type of surgical correction has previously been reported. Congratulations, you have checked your brakes. Now to fix them. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
MC or pretty decent fluid leakage/ torn line.
^^^ If it wasn't clear you should check the fluid. (Use QD's write-up)
Can't believe nobody has asked what the symptoms are
Is there any metal on metal sounds? Does the pedal feel spongy or does it go straight to the floor? Does the pedal stick at the bottom? etc. etc.
its the usual honda symptoms of what the pedal does...it slowly goes to the floor...MC. same thing thats wrong w/ my brakes. shes already bled her brakes before..so...
im just a messenger
Just have to pump about 1/2 way down 4-6 for full pressure then right?
im not fully understanding what ur saying..but i think ur saying u gota pump the brakes to get pressure on the pedal right?? if so yea. cuz mine does the same
To get enough brake pressure to stop you have to pump them a few times or does it not get pressure at all, that's what i was saying.
gota pump it up a few times...or for instance while im at a stop light and i have my foot on the brake..itll slowly go down
thank you sorry PBS is acting as my voice b/c I can only get on here when I am on the 3rd floor...
this is the 2nd time this has happened both times it has been raining (not sure if it had anything to do with it) basically I go to stop and the car begins to slow down and then the brakes just give out and I start sliding. Ive noticed in the past couple of weeks that normal stopping takes a little longer that it used to. I am not one to ride my brakes or slam on my brakes if I am stopping I will gradually come to a stop. Both times I have either slid under the bumper or barley missed the car infront of me thank god...
like I said I know how to change my brakes and all but past that I will admit I am clueless

bump
So the tires are locking up? You sure it's the brakes and not the tires? Is there an ABS light on?
^^^ Yeah, sliding? More info?
bump for blacksi to see
no abs light. The tires aren't locking up at all I still have traction. My tires are brand new as well. I think the only reason why I am sliding is b/c the rd is wet.
VAL FOR PRESIDENT
That sounds like bad tires on wet road? How is braking feel?
My tires have less than 6months of wear on them. my allignment is fine
My brakes feel like I cant stop
VAL FOR PRESIDENT
but it's sliding/skidding?
OK First things first. Answer these questions:
1) DOES YOUR BRAKE PEDAL HAVE PRESSURE? WHAT WE MEAN IS, WHEN YOU PRESS IT, DOES IT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR?
2) DOES YOUR MASTER CYLINDER HAVE FLUID? IF NOT, REFILL AND RE BLEED
3) MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE A BLOWN SEAL ON YOUR CALIPER, LOOK FOR FLUID ON YOUR TIRED USUALLY THE INSIDE (WHEN ITS NOT RAINING)
4) BRING THE CAR BY HERE FRIDAY AND ILL LOOK AT IT
