Subject:Soft Brake Pedal Pressure after driving with Emergency brake on.
From:Robert Stewart
Date:Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:18:35 -0400

Hello Everyone,

I replaced my front brake pads several months ago and the pressure has been great since. The other day someone other than myself pulled my emergency brake lever. I did not know and wound up driving with it on for 20 minutes on the highway. I started to smell something and I immediately released it. After doing so I realized my brake pressure on the pedal sank a bit.

What happened and how do I resolve this?

I have not checked my brake fluid level since this happened. I will check it but what can I do to resolve this?

Thanks,
Robert
