The fluid overheated and boiled in the wheel cylinders.
Now you have a good excuse to flush all the brake fluid.
Should do it every 2-3 yrs anyway.

Subject: Soft Brake Pedal Pressure after driving with Emergency brake on.


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?
