Roger that - great advice! Thank you..... I've owned this rig for about 8 months, this is my 2nd LC100

YES, fluid level is on spec and visually everything looks right.....and at the moment, the brakes are perfect (naturally) but they were kinda scary last time I headed down our 8 mile hill to get to town....press down wondering if there were brakes there or not, pump a bit, get some pressure...

Cold days? In Napa?! Nope - we don't do cold here, and it does not seem to be related to weather. Happens on the way to Tennis AND Golf.... :cool: Seems like a master cylinder issue, like we used to do with older cars: pumping to get the pressure up to make the brakes work. Unclear how...

Dear Brake Experts - Thank you for the great writeup on the Brake system, and I've read the threads but have not seen my issue: from time to time (intermittently) my brakes on the 2001 LC100 have a soft pedal, with longer than normal pedal travel. But a few taps / pumps brings the pedal back...

I have had more than a few cars in my lifetime, but don't recall any ANY that had a design where the brakes would fail to ZERO upon the failure of an auxiliary electric motor that boosts pressure. Seems a pretty poor design, and a terrible fail-safe option! just sayin' - glad we were not hurt...
