One of the reasons I bought this Van was that it had complete new brakes (Feb 2015). I have the receipts and it was complete, new rotors, pads and Master cylinder. All parts are non OEM. I bought it August 1 and we were in the midst of a hot dry Summer, highs 30 plus Celsius lows 20 (90/95F/70F). The brakes worked great but recently as the temp has gone down with fall I have a problem that is strange. When cold the pedal is soft and if I wanted to press it hard it would go to the floor. I however have eased up on the pedal and the brakes hold and work well in stop and go traffic. Very soon after when it is warm and I have driven a couple of miles the pedal is normal and is not fading. The Master cyl is full of fluid and I assume that means no leaks. Do I need to bleed air from system ? Could it be moisture ? I have heard occasionally a scraping sound from the rear brakes like a pad is rubbing on the rotor ? This sound is on and off like it is rubbing on one side then not rubbing ? noise______noise______noise.
