brakes?

[freshnasty]

so ive noticed that brakes have become more and more mushy. im having to pump my brakes several times inorder to come to a complete stop.
--today i was coming to a stop and almost slammed into the back of this guys car, even though i had the brake to the floor.

i just had car completely checked over, so im not really sure what the problem is
any info will be greatly appreciated.

Is your "BRAKE" light on? If so your low on fluid. Refill reservoir and find the leak.

Your master cylinder might be going bad but usually mushy means air in the line.

when you are in a drivethrough, with your foot on the pedal, does it eventually sink to the floor? If so , its the master cylinder.

Might not be the master cylinder... Look for fluid in the wheel wells. Replace lines as needed and bleed the system. If no fluid in the wheel wells then yea its the master cylinder lol
