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

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

Does it have rear drums? The rear cylinders have been known to leak.

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

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.
