Subject:Need help w/ Diagnosing Brake Problem - Need to pump brakes to get stopping power
From:Dustin Jones
Date:Mon, 17 Jul 2006 08:38:17 -0400

Hello, the brakes on my 1990 Carat seemed to grow tired this weekend and
don't have much stopping power. I was driving 3 months problem free, it was
great! Anways the problem is quickly getting worse, and my daily driver is
not safe for me to drive anymore :-( I checked the brake fluid, it is fine,
although it probably could use a change. I really have to pump the brakes a
couple times to get any stopping power and it doesn't hold long before it
feels like something. I gotta get this fixed by next monday, I have to make
a road trip to to Philly for work. Hopefully this is something I can fix  by
myself or with an assistant, the funds are kinda low. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
