Hello All,
I've been noticing something over the past two weeks, and since it's not going away, I should probably address it; that's what I've been told a smart person would do. Well, like the title indicates, I'm getting a bit if a delay in my brakes when they are applied with harder than normal pressure. Under normal braking, everything is fine. However, when I press the brake pedal in slow down in a "not really an emergency, but you need to decelerate at quick rate", I'm noticing that the brakes are not responding as quickly at the wheels. The front and rear pads and rotors are rather new; 6 months old up front and 8 months old on the rear.
I'm going to describe as best I can what occurs. The need to slow down at a quick rate comes up. I press the brake pedal and I feel the normal pressure it gives back. Then it take about a second longer than it use to to apply that same stopping power to the wheels. I haven't looked at the brake fluid level, but I will today after work. So if it's low, I'll add some and see if that fixes the problem. In the mean time, I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and what they did to fix it.
