2006 Ford Focus Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jun 22, 2010

I have a 2006 Ford Focus wagon. The front brakes and rotors were replaced. The brake pedal feels "squishy" and in stop and go traffic, twice, while stopped, with my foot on the pedal, the pedal went right down to the floor... any suggestions?

It's time to replace the master cylinder.
whenever you step on the brakes and it goes down to the floor it's because the fluid is leaking pass the rubber cups in the master
cylinder.

2006 ford focus front end noise stops when applying brake

saw your other post and thought you just let it go for 2 years.
did they change the rotors? an imperfection in the rotor can cause it to make a noise, you would think that the first mechanic would have changed out the rotors and pads to rule it out, i doubt it would be the caliper because it is not close enough, did they check the bearing and axle?

Just replaced front brakes

Did you turn the rotors? Drivers that drive fast, brake hard and hold the pedal down hard after stopping will warp these small rotors.

Squishy brake feel with long pedal travel but brakes stop the car

You have to remove the air trapped in the hydraulic system. Look at change of brakefluid in a repair handbook and perform it as described.

Useful to change the brakefluid at least once every five years anyway.
