Hello Friends, I need your help and advice. I have a 2010 Acura TSX with 75,000 mile and it is almost 9 years old car. Recently I have been observing mushy or soft brakes - where I had to hit the brake pedal hard - so I took my car to my mechanic. At the shop the brakes were working fine again and the mechanic could not find the problem - He mentioned the car had 90% front Brake pads and 30% rear brake pads. He was under the impression that it might be a stuck stone type of situation but its been around two weeks and now my wife also feels the mushy brakes. I did check the brake fluid - it looks clean and is full. From time to time I do hear a squealing noise while braking but not all the time. I did notice the noise sometimes when I release parking brake and am reversing on my drive way which is on a slope. I suspect it could be the master brake cylinder or not sure If this is the case of stuck/freezing Caliper and if so not sure if I need to replace the front or the back caliper in case of a mushy brake pad situation? I am also not sure if it could be a problem with a brake line which exhibit similarity to a frozen caliper?
I am not an expert in cars but am currently frustrated as why the mechanic was not able to find the problem with my mushy brakes. I do agree it was working fine during the test drive with him and then started acting up from time to time.
Thanks once again for your help and support in this regard..
