Last fall when the temps got close to freezing, the brake pedal in my
2005 Forester got very soft and mushy. I could push it almost to the floor. Pumping it a few times while still in the driveway would gain some pressure back.As the winter progressed and the temps fell further, I was having to pump them longer and more often to keep the pressure up. It was getting scary to drive because several times the pedal went almost to the floor and the car was not braking adequately when I needed them to.
I did take it to the dealer. They said they checking the braking system but couldn't find anything wrong (and they are a good dealer IMO). They said it might be the master cylinder but didn't want to replace anything until they knew exactly what was wrong.
So here it is fall going into winter and the problem is starting again.
Does anyone here have any ideas about what could be the problem?
thanks, Dee
