I recently purchased a 95 Civic 2-door DX. It is a 5 speed and I put new front rotors and pads on it. It had excellent stopping power for a month and then I noticed it was getting worse. If I am at a stop on a hill, the pedal pressure slowly goes away and if I am not paying attention I will be rolling and not know it. My boss at work is experiencing the same thing on his 94. Brake fluid level is right on doesn't seem to be disappearing and I have not noticed any leaks anywhere. I am thinking it is something with the brake master cylinder or maybe something in the rear brake system. I was also told it could be a normal thing on these cars which I fail to see how that would be right as mine worked great then suddenly went bad. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Could be a vaccuum leak as well. Have it checked out if you are unsure.

 

A M/C can fail and cause what you are having without any fluid loss. Just replace it and rebleed the brake system.

 

Thanks guys. I will try to get a new one put on today and will update if it works or not.
