Hi all, been having this problem for a while now and thought I'd jump on here and see if anyone can help me out?
After a few minutes of driving without touching the brakes I have noticed that they will then start applying themselves. If I depress the brake pedal then release it the brakes release again and the car will drive fine but after a few more minutes they will do it again? The rear brake lights also come on while this is happening.
I have taken this to a garage to be looked at (not a dealership) and they have tried the following:
New master cylinder
Changed brake fluid
Refurbished front and rear brakes (calipers etc.)
The car is not reporting any fault codes?
I have done a make-shift fix by putting a bungee cord around the brake pedal and the steering colum to hold the brake pedal up, as I noticed that there was a little bit of 'play', and thought maybe the pedal was very slowly going down by itself over time. The brakes are still slowly applying themselves but not as servere as before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
