i am pretty sure that the master cylinder is on the fritz.
i went to maine for 4 days (we took my friend's car) and left the volvo to sit.
when i first drove it i noticed that the pedal seemed a little soft, but the brakes still worked fine. (side note: the brake failure light has been flickering on and off over bumps, and whenever else it felt like it). this morning on my way to work they were almost useless. the pedal goes all the way to the floor, and then they work only as though i was coming to a very gradual stop. i pretty much used my transmission as a braking system.
fun!
