2000 Ford Taurus When I go to stop my vehicle it doesn't stop immediately. Like stop on a dime when I first had the car. I have had it checked out and everytime someone tells me the brakes are okay. Can't be okay. When I try to stop the vehicle doesn't stop rightaway, it glides to a stop. I thought if I put my foot on the brake all the way the vehicle should come to a stop. What's wrong with my brakes?

Check your brake fluid. If there is air in the lines this will cause the issue you are describing. Air in the lines is caused by a low brake fluid due to a leak in the brake line some where. If there has been a master brake cylinder repair some time since you owned it, then they did not bleed the brakes correctlyand get them to fix it. I am almost positive that if you check your fluid level and find it down, then you will have to bleed all your breaks. This is a tedious job and will need a couple of small containers of fluid to replace what you spill bleeding. If this doesn't fix it then you will need to replace the check valve, which controls the flow of the fluid from the front and rear brakes.
