Need a little help here. I have done a search and read but can't find what I am looking for.

My 96 4 runner has always had good but touchy/sensitive brakes since it was new. I have done a brake job just a couple thousand miles ago and everything is good as far as pads and rotors go.

However, the other day I braked really hard to avoid a deer and the anti-locks kicked in. Ever since then I have noticed that the pedal will fade as if the brake is releasing after I have slowed down and almost to a stop. This doesn't happen every time but it has happened several times now.

The brakes seem to work fine otherwise. Does anyone recognize this as a known problem.

I am getting ready to give the 4 runner to my son for his 16th birthday in two weeks and don't want this to be a problem.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
 
Sounds like your brake master cylinder is leaking fluid past the piston. needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Only buy this from Toyota dealer.
