I had something that happen to me the other day. I was leaving work and when I stopped behind a truck, just sitting there waiting my car started moving with my foot on the brake. It never happen again but I almost hit the truck before I double pumped and stopped. My car's brakes were flushed a few years ago and I use Hawks Pads with Bear Rotors. I used the Blue brake fluid.

Do you think I need to bleed the brakes again? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.
Bill

Does your pedal feel mushy and go to the floor? Even with power brakes, your pedal should be firm.

There's not much info in your post for what I would consider a good diagnosis but bleeding the system again sounds most likely.

It felt mushy for a second but did not go all the way to the floor.
