'79 Fleetwood Brougham has been in the family since new, sits at mother's and driven on weekends. It is a beautiful car that I have to sell because I was laid off. The brakes were serviced about six months ago. Because of no income I need to try to fix this myself, if I can. I have changed pads/rotors on my other car, Ford Taurus but it is a lot newer (2002).
The brake pedal seems firm, then on slowing it suddenly goes to the floor. Sometimes seems like it happens on downshift. Other times I will be stopped and the car will roll forward, scary. Now it is parked but Taurus is in the shop so I don't have transportation.
I searched threads for a while and could not find a similar problem on a previous post. Please help with your suggestions. Many thanks, wjs
