Brakes wont work

My brake pedel goes solid so it cant be applied...This is an intermittant problem that has happened randomly I have taken it to a cpl of garages that cant find a problem?

  • penny_capewe Mar 19, 2009

    Tried that one, put a new valve on just in case but it's made no difference at all :o( It's also had new discs (last yr) and the brake fluid checked on its MOT all to no avail... Thanks for the suggestion tho!

After going down the road few minutes, ABS and Check Advantrac lights came on solid at same time.4x4 light also flashes intermittently. Started the car few more times, same thing, after warming up.

have vehicle scanned for trouble code possible abs sensor or hub going bad --when abs goes out you still have standard / conventional brakes [ means if you slam on brakes they will lock /skid ] but your brakes will work normal

2007 ford sport trac 4.0 2wd just put brakes all the way around bleed brakes brake lines not leaking still brake pedel goes almost to the floor to stop disk front and back done everything right

obviously not or you would have brakes

there is still air in the lines and that can be from a master cylinder that has an air lock and is not allowing fluid to pump

Take it to an accredited brake specialist for diagnosis and brake bleed

when bleeding the brakes , it is a 2 person operation and each line ( starting at the longest line is operated until only solid fluid comes out when the bleed screw is operated

Brake Problem

yes but up to a point
the brake pedal should move about 1" to take up the pedal free play and then be applied smoothly as you press further
the harder you press the more solid stopping action you will get
that way you can feel the brakes working so that you can adjust the braking action for stopping
there should be no hissing noise that occurs when the brakes are being applied
you say hydro booster which is hydraulic booster but a hissing noise will come from an air leak in a vacuum brake booster which indicates that it needs repalcing

What will cause a 2001 mercury cougar to pull hard to the left? We already changed lower ball joints, caliper, bearing hub assembly, and outer tie rods.What's your problem?

Could be air in system and right side not applying brakes. Also the internal rubber in brake line where solid metal line attaches to can deteriorate and form a blockage for brake fluid to not reach caliper on right side.

My Volvo 850 1996 had spongy brakes with the brake pedel traveling some distance before the biting point. If the brake pedel was punped you coul get a higher pedel. My local mechanic blead the brakes and...

I would first bleed the brakes again -- maybe there is still a small amount of air still in the lines. If this doesn't work and there is no visible leak, I would have to suspect the master cylinder is "leaking by" internally. A new one shouldn't be failing already, but it's happened before.

My brakes pedel trembles

For some reason the abs is applying itself prematurely. This could be happening for several reason
1. bad abs sensors (4) one in each wheel
2. bad axle (if axle was replace make sure that its a abs axle).
3.Bad abs Unit or abs computer.
Have the vehicle put on scanner and check for fault code. Auto-Zone does this check for free then you can take it from there.
