Brakes Soft When It's Hot
When it's hot my 95 Accord's brakes get soft. The best way I can describe it is when I come to a complete stop and press on the brake pedal my car stops, but as I have pressure on the pedal it continues to compress. This seems to happen when the weather is very warm, any feedback would be great.

I have this exact same problem in my 95 Accord wagon. I would be interested to know what the problem is as well. I was just going to start replacing things until it was fixed, but if someone can save me some time and money, that would be nice.

If the pedal sinks smoothly & slowly to the floor, as you hold the brakes at a red light; that's CLASSIC for a failing master cylinder. For some reason it's common for this to be worse as the under-hood temperatures get hotter.
Bleeding fresh fluid sometimes helps, but it's usually temporary. The only REAL fix is a new master cylinder.

your master cylinder is failing. Happening on my 95 wagon too.
