- 1996 VS V6 Acclaim Sedan
Hi,
Just looking for any suggestions.
Have a VS Commodire Acclaim V6. It isnt driven much. I took it for a spin and all was well. I started descending a mountainous curving road and started to have brake issues. The brakes were either fading or failing. It was slowing up but when I tried to bring it to a quick complete stop my. Foot was almost to the floor and car would not pull up only slow down. I could smell my brakes . I managed to get it home but was definitely sweating as if anything requiring me to do a quick stop that was not going to happen.
I intend to do a fluid flush and vacuum bleed. Has anyone had similar situation. Was wondering whether brake hoses fail by expanding etc with age. No leaks are apparent. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
