putter Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 we loose the brakes intermitenly. you can drive it for two weeks and it will be just fine then it goes to the floor pump it a couple of times you have brakes again. we installed new master cylinder and change out the fluid. this one has me stumped a bit thanks for any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffreyd Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It is a computer issue. Had the same problem with a taurus replaced booster master cylinder etc ended up going to dealer and it was something with the computer control on the brake. Sorry for the details. it sucks but anymore i wont deal with brakes because of the darn computer systems. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing tech Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Does it have rear drums? The rear cylinders have been known to leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putter Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 it has rear drums and there is no leaks any where im thinking its the abs system but it dont act like the abs is activating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Brakes are something to not mess with, if they arent working correctly, get it fixed asap! Sure the abs HCU could cause this concern, but it isnt common to happen. I would bring it in to a dealer or a good shop that has the proper equipment to diagnose the problem, rather then throwing a $700 part at it.
