I looked at my brake fluid today and it looks like the fluid is melting the plastic inside. There are sooo many loose particles inside the fluid. I will take pic tomorrow for you guys.

Happen to anyone else?

It's not melting. It's contaminates from heat. Just flush the fluid with fresh stuff and you'll be ok. Drain the master and refill with fresh fluid then start the bleeding process.

It's under warranty, let the dealer do the work but I agree it sounds like contaminated fluid.

My car came with the brake reservoir overfilled and the guy that lowered the level used a contaminated bulb which in turn contaminated the fluid in the reservoir. I took it to another dealer and they drained and flushed the system under warranty. This was with about 40 miles on the car.
