During stops, when you press on the brakes does it go all the way to the floor?

May I ask when did you replace the brake pads Ronald? Did you notice the issue after the bleeding process?

Posted 6/14/2016

Customer

it might have been the first time i bleed them the old way rr lr rf lf then i found a diff bleding way on the web

Ok Ronald... did you perform the bleeding process you found on the web? I am thinking that it must be bled thoroughly Ronald, there are times that air / bubbles are trapped in the brake lines. It only must be stopped when theres sufficient pressure during the bleeding process

Can you please do this process of bleeding Ronald. It's somehow called the diagonal pattern.

1. Left Rear Wheel
2. Right Front Wheel
3. Right Rear Wheel
4. Left Front Wheel

Ok please do that Ronald.. If this still fails Im suspecting that the HCU (hydraulic control unit) is failing and will require replacement. I would suggest that you take it in to the dealer for checking before replacement Ronald. Is there anything else I can add or help you with? I'll be standing by for your response.

Customer

no ill let you know tomorow if you push slow on the brakes at 65 it slows down faster than if u stand on them
