1990 Honda Accord Brake Issue
1990 Honda Accord LX, 4Dr, AT, 250K miles. Brake pedal goes lower and lower when slowly stop at red light. Eventually, it will close to floor and I have to release brake pedal and re-apply brake to stop car. This only happens when slowly stop especially downhill stop. If I suddenly press brake, it works and car stop. After some reading from car repair forum, it seems to be the master cylinder problem. Is my assumption correct? Do any other experts have any other suggestions?

Honda Brake Issue
Your brake issue definitely sound like a internal leak from one of the seals in the master cylinder, not air in the lines. Air in the lines would be more like a mushy feeling when you hit the binders, the pedal would not continue to drop away. Master cylinder for sure.
