A friend has a 2006 mazda 5. He was driving and hit a dip in the road. Now the brake pedal is very mushy. The pedal sinks almost like a bad master cylinder. But still stops just over halfway down. He says he now hears a hissing sound when pressing the brakes. I think that is just the vacuum for the power brakes. And he now hears its because the pedal moves so far.
My plan is to flush out the brake fluid.
If that does not help and I dont see anything else wrong, I can change out the master cylinder.
Anybody else have this issue, or suggestions on this? If it comes down to a new master cylinder I can get OEM for about $205. Or Reybestos much cheaper.
