Uh.. do you mean that the pedal travels further to start braking?

does it feel like it starts to brake, then to hold that same braking pressure the pedal travels further?

If so, it sounds like you're losing fluid pressure somewhere. This happened to me before and got worse quite quickly-- it was the brake master cylinder.

Well it could be a few things really. Caliper isnt working correctly or your brake lines have a major leak. I used to work at les Schwab and our normal things we look at is brake lines, caliper, then pad, then rotor, sometimes mc, brake booster. Those are the components i would look at it has to be one or more of those things.

Is the brake fluid low?

Have your tried bleeding the hydraulic system? If so, I would not discount the master cylinder as a culprit.

def loosing pressure somewhere. start at the hub, checking pads/rotors/lines, then work your way to the mc...i doubt your brake booster has failed. 99% sure you have a bad line somewhere or a bad mc
