Went on a drive and everything was OK except on the return leg, got stuck behind a 'Burb that refused to acknowledge the gas pedal, then got into thick construction, and went from 25 mph for miles to 10-15 mph. As I ditched a left into a shopping center to escape, I hit the brakes to go over a lane that had been removed down to the subsurface, and I felt the ABS go crazy. As I got in the lot, I felt a serious decrease in brake boost, that has persisted. Basically, the pedal travels far past the point it would usually begin to bind the brakes, and nearly at the bottom of travel it eases into doing its job. They feel spongy where they start to bind, but before then, like pumping the hydraulics on a jack where the seals have gone out.
I have read before that these master cylinders give up very suddenly with no warning and I would like opinions (and most certainly experiences) that confirm for debunk this thought.
