Re: strange brake behavior

It's hard to believe, but the Jeep could have been at an angle extreme 
enough for the master cylinder to suck air.  That's scary.  The part about

the brakes being applied even though you had your foot off the pedal is 
strange though.  I would probably replace the master or at least tear it 
down for inspection just in case.
