I thought it would be fixed when I went in for a brake job today
Basically, when I turn on my A/C the car does its normal grumbling (it's a puny 4cyl)
That said, strangely, every few minutes the brakes give out and the pedal goes almsot all the way in Even then if I push it all in I get no pressure until it almsot hits the surface behind the pedals:Q Once I get that far, the car brakes again, but VERY weakly and it feels strange, especially when coming to a full stop. The car teeters from front right to rear left , sort of rocking diagonally when I come to a stop. This doesn't happen ALL the time, but every few minutes or so. Keep in mind that my handbrake ALWAYS works, and I have to resort to using it quite frequently
Today I went in for an oil change but realized that it was bad so I had the good ole' boys at Midas (*slaps himself*) look at it. They were going to charge me a lot less than 'my' mechainic so I said why not. They told me they looked at the master cylinder and that it looekd fine so they simply flushed the lines and replaced the front pads.
About half a block away, having turned the A/C on again, it did the same thing:|
They said they'd have a ride-along with me tomorow but the problem is that I am out of money and can't spend anymore for about a week
A friend of mine told me that about the only thing in relation to the brake system that would be affected, by the alternator or current in general, would be the brake booster.
Basically, does that seem like the appropriate diagnosis to you guys? If so, on average, how much should parts+ labor run me?
Thanks
