now that the weather has turned hot, my brakes have a recurring problem that first appeared last summer but disappeared when the weather got chilly. sometimes, if i brake suddenly, the pedal is rock hard and has no give. at the same time i have very little braking power and my car pulls to the left. it feels like the brakes are functioning only on one side of the car (this may not actually be happening, it just feels that way. i have to press the brake pedal with all my strength to come to a stop. when i release the brakes for several seconds, the problem disappears and the brakes are normal. I have noticed that if i anticipate the need to brake and tap the brake pedal first, the problem wont happen. This started happening last summer, but before i could bring it to the mechanic, the weather got cold and the problem completely disappeared all winter. it started to come back last month and i had my mechanic look at it while he replaced the air conditioner (uggh). he checked the brakes and ABS; flushed the brake system and checked and cleaned the connections. This fixed the problem for about a month and now the problem has returned. does anyone have any idea what this means?
