It's possible that the brake line was crimped and causing the brake to drag. That could cause the fluid the heat up and boil. Did the brakes recover when they cooled off?

Never thought of that. Yes the line is still intact, but there's a visible break in the outer sleeve. Doesn't seem like any leakage though but I will check both chambers in the brake reservoir (forgot about the back one!). I didn't realise that a crimped brake line could cause the brake to drag and cause the fluid to boil!! Come to think of it, the loss in braking happened right after that panic stop and after the whole highway drive not using the brakes, the braking power came back. That kinda explains it. But what of the vibration?? Could that be the brakes as well? Or are we looking at more expensive things? Thanks for the replies guys!
