If it's sinking randomly then you get brake feel the next pump, I'd say master cylinder.

but it's VERY early in your car's for that.

I didnt say that at all, but that diagnosis wouldn't be consistent with what he is describing as the issue. (or omitting from the description)

I guess he would have to be a lot more specific. Low on fluid and mushiness isnt a lot to go off of, and nothing of pulsing brake pedal (consistent with warped rotor/etc) wasnt mentioned.

He also didnt state if he lost fluid after he refilled it and drove it.

Edit - There is a lot of missing information to really say it is anything specific lol


did not lose any fluid after i drove it around, rotors are not warped, im almost positive it has to be the wheel bearing

if not, going to check what everyone else has mentioned.

the rotor bouncing around in the caliper wont always deflect the pressure back enough to feel in the pedal, but it would be enough to make them soft

heres the thing, the wheel bearing is messed up any way, fix it and go from there.

just because you cant see fluid dosent mean its not leaking

it could be leaking into the booster

no matter what you always start here. brakes dont mean shit when the wheel bearing falls apart and you wreck your car.
