After about an hour of sitting in traffic my brakes began to get very soft. They wouldn't stay soft, but it would come and go after that until I let the car sit and then the brakes would go back to normal. This would only happen when I sat in traffic for about an hour. After speaking to a couple of mechanics, I had the master cylinder replaced and the brakes lines bleed. This didn't seem to help. I had the same problem yesterday while I was sitting in traffic.

Any ideas what I should try next?

Thanks!

 

how long have you been driving this car? because to me all lrs have very soft brakes imo

 

I have had the truck for over 5 years and this is the first time I'm feeling the brakes this soft. I did notice that the few times it was happening the car was running very hot. Do you think that would cause the brake lines to get too hot and bubble causing air in the lines?

 

I was wondering if a solution was found for this? I am having a similar problem. Here's a link to my post on it: http://www.landrovernet.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=79619

Old rubber brake lines to the calipers can cause this to happen and well as air trapped in the ABD unit.
