I have owned a Mazda Protege and two Honda Civics. Each one ended up with pulsation in the brake pedal when applied, after about 40,000. The pulsation ended up in my paying for new brake pads, rotors, and unevenly worn tires.
Finally found a mechanic who said that brake fluid needs to be flushed every 20,000 miles, especially on small cars. This is because the fluid overheats at the point where it touches the brake system, and water separates out. This causes uneven pressure. Hence, pulsation and big expense.
Do you counsel your clients to flush their brake systems? Why don't the manuals recommend this? It would save alot of money for unsuspecting folks.
