Howdy,
I don't know if have the correct page for my question, but if it is in the wrong section, I'm certain "someone" will move it. Since my independent shop replaced the master cylinder, the brakes coming to a stop in a "parking lot" are minimal at best. It's getting to the point where when I look for a parking space, I look where there is not a car in front of me.
From what my mechanic told me, while the car is going down the road normally, the vacuum is making about 6psi...or something like that, but when I get to a parking lot, BECAUSE the vehicle is not under power, it is not making enough vacuum, this actually operating with "manual " brakes. So that when come to a parking space, I have to press down HARD on the pedal. The shop bled the system several times and re-checked the master cylinder and all came out well...what they are saying it probably boils down to the Power Boost Assist Vacuum Pump being bad......wondering what y'all think?
