| I was entering the i-205 southbound on ramp off of mill plain blvd in vancouver, wa when the driver of the car in front of me suddenly applied her brakes. i attempted to apply my brakes, but the brake peddle went limp all the way to the floor. i tried to pump the brakes, but the peddle stayed limp and all the way to the floor. i didn't panic because i didn't see any reason for the driver to slam on her brakes--there was no one in front of her and there was no one pulling in front of her, and we were entering the i-205 on-ramp. there was plenty of room between our vehicles. i figured that the driver of the other vehicle would move on as we were on the freeway on-ramp. she then came to a complete stop on the freeway on ramp. at this point the speed was probably less than 20 mph. as i was reaching for the emergency brake, my suburban bumped into the back of her 1987 acura. after the accident, the brakes on my suburban worked fine. i took my foot off of the brake peddle after both vehicles came to a complete stop from the impact motion. i then pushed on the brake peddle and it was good. i backed up a bit and the brakes worked fine. i drove forward a bit and unto the shoulder and the brakes worked fine. the road was dry and the sky was sunny. i couldn't even fathom the brakes failing for a couple of days, then it dawned on me that since they faiuled once they could fail again abd possibly with more tragic consequences. i took the suburban to vancouver chevrolet for a brake check and explained to the what had happened. they said that the master cylinder was leaking down and replaced the master cylinder. i don't fully understand what master cylinder leaking down means. i checked the brake fluid level after i got home after the accident and it was good. i had never had any problem with a limp brake peddle on the suburban before. i never had any problem with the brake peddle. there never was any sponginess or any any indication of a brake peddle problem prior to this incide | |||
