My son is 3 hours away at college in the quad cities. He has an internship and needs to cross the Mississippi river each day to get to work. Very narow two lanes both ways on the interstate. A month and a half ago he had to do a panic stop, and in the process blew the rear brake line (2003 EXT). He got all new brake lines and 3 calipers had to be replaced, I think they busted bleeders, even though the car had brakes all around a little over 2 years ago.
This morning he again had to do a panic stop, slammed on the brakes hard. They took him from 60 to 10 no issues, then the pedal went nearly to the floor and he had almost no brakes to get to zero. After that everything worked fine.
What would cause the sudden drop of the brake pedal and limited braking after it worked going from 60 to 10? He took it to a Minekie shop, and they think maybe it is the master. Could it be the booster? Any other ideas?
