SOURCE: Brake problem spongy brake pedal pedal goes down

try bleeding them more,start with the right rear,then left rear,then right front ,then left front, always bleed the brake that is furthest from the master cylinder, sometimes you have to bleed them several times until you get a steady stream of brake fluid.

Soft pedal on 03 grand caravan

Have you driven it since the brakes where replaced?

Did you bleed all four wheels?

have you "broken in" the new pads?

Are the rears drum or disk? If drum are they adjusted correctly?

are you using remanufactured master cylinders? If so keep replacing them. eventually you will get one that works. New is pricey but a better way to go.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

I have replaced the master cylinder on my daughters '05 grand prix, and now it keeps getting air trapped in the right rear caliper, and the brakes get spongy. I can't find any leaks, hoses loo

Make sure you bleed from rear furtherist from master cylinder and make sure when your helper is in drivers seat to pump brake pedal 4x then hold, at that holding point you open bleed screw then close once brake pedal is on the ground. Repeat 5x then move to the opp side and do the same. Then to the front furtherist from master cylinder and do the same. Making sure the brake fluid is always topped up also. Also check all your conecters in the lines are not leaking

The dealer just performed a brake job on the front disc on our 2005 Nissan Pathfinder - new pads; turned rotors. Now the pedal is spongy. What needs to be done or checked.

If the brakes are spongy after a brake job the dealer should have blead them as part of the repair procedure...bleed the brakes and the pedal should firm up again.

2003 rav 4, just replaced front calipers and pads, after bleeding the line,peddle was spongie, bled all four lines, peddle still spongie, do I need the engine running to properly bleed the lines, and since...

I would bleed the rears too especially if the brake fluid reservoir drained empty. Also you may need to drive the vehicle to seat the brake pads. Check and see how the pedal feels initially before you road test to make sure you don't need to pump the brakes in order to stop. if you do then re bleed all four wheels.If you don't have to pump the pedal and it just feels spongy then try going around the block a few times and see if the pedal stiffens up after the pads have seated.

Brakes are still spongy after changing the pads, one caliper, and master cylinder. bled front brakes.

I just went to Brake Masters this morning and had them replace the Master Cylinder since I was experiencing the pedal very spongy and going to the floor. When they replaced the Master Cylinder and they gave me back the car, the brakes were still spongy and going to the floor. I addressed this to them and they took another look at it, but when I took it for a second time, the brakes were extremely spongy. It was almost like they gave me back my car in worst condition to when I brought it in. Can you help?
