When i brake in my husbands 2000 s70 the pedal feels firm, does not depress much. After the car stops the brake pedal gives and depresses quite a bit, any ideas? i have the exact same car as my husband, i have never had the same experience with my brakes.

 

Quit driving your husbands car! Just kidding

I have heard of this happening when the brake fluid gets old and needs replaced or you may have air in the brake lines. Personally I have never changed my brake fluid in any car I have ever owned so I'm not sure if that's the answer or not. I guess I'm really not being much help. Hopefully Tech will respond with an idea.
