The description matches exactly how my 91 Accord acted when it needed a new
master cylinder. It only did it when the weather was very hot (trip to the
beach) so I lived with it for over a year. It felt like the brake pedal would
slowly go away from under my foot, but I could press harder and stop the roll
forward.
