Car Brake Experts Pls Save A Life. by compunigeria: 4:15pm On Aug 26, 2017
please help with my car brake issue. The brake becomes low (and will need pumping before it will "catch" ) after driving a long distance above 130km/h or driving on a rough road with frequent use of the brake.
Brake works fine until any of the above occurs and will return to normal after
a period of inactivity.
i ve changed the brake pads.....no effect
bleeding the brake oil.....no effect
change of brake oil....no effect
Changing the "O "ring rubber on the brake master.....seems to improve for about a week then no effect again

my mechanic said the brake master is ok so he only changed the above.
my car is camry 2004, V4.

Pls change your mechanic. I had similar issues with my vehicle until I changed my mechanic who discovered that the abs was faulty. To cut the long story short, he disabled and by-passed the abs and did his magic.

I have been to and fro Kaduna to Lagos with it twice, Ekpoma to Kaduna since July he worked on it.

This mechanic was recommended to me by some Cross Country drivers.

I suspect its very stiff. Tell your mechanic to run and oil it. Just slight adjustment. He should run both front calipers. That issue should clear after running the calipers.

How did you solve this issue ?
Re: Car Brake Experts Pls Save A Life. by compunigeria: 8:05pm On Jul 23, 2020
I couldnt. I sold the car due to other issues.
A friend had something similar and was able to resolve it, so here is my suggestion,
get a good mechanic that deals specifically with brakes only. He should be able to fix it.
