The brake master cylinder has failed in my brown truck again. I paid a shop about a year ago to fix the brakes in my truck less than a year ago and had some issues with them replacing parts they weren't supposed to replace first and so on. However I did finally get them to replace the master cylinder. I had issues with it holding pressure on the front calipers after they installed it so I brought it back and they tore the master cylinder apart and messed with the metering rod in it rather than replacing it with another rebuilt unit. Anyway its never been quite right, has never made me feel like I had the braking power I am supposed to have, like it has been braking more with the rear brakes rather than the fronts. To the current events, over the weekend on my way to work I had to push the pedal to the floor to get the truck to stop. I popped the cap off and found the front reservoir was almost empty. I filled it and kept investigating. After driving a few miles through town I found the front reservoir almost empty again and the rear reservoir had overflowed with the cap clamped down. So in short the front reservoir is going into the rear and getting pushed out the cap.
What can be done to fix this and if I find there's any warranty on the work, should I make the shop fix it or give up on them and do it myself?
