Like I said it seems when I come to a stop it seems to keep rolling even if I press on the pedal harder.. Scares me sometimes. Any Ideas what it might be? Thanks, Mike Happy Holidays!
I too experience this. I replaced soft lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, calipers, and pads. Still happens but only rarely.

I find it usually helps to find a clear spot and hit the brakes hard. My brakes usually feel much lighter and more responsive after this.
