Default 2000 HINDA CIVIC SI

I'm haviing trouble with my brakes. Whenever I make a u turn then use my brakes the brake pedal hits the floor. This has been happening for a while now. I took it to two different Pep Boys and they couldn't find the problem. I took it to my mecanic and he replaced the pads and the master cilinder. He also drained the brake fluid. He did everything he could think of. The problem was gone for about a week then it came back. can anybody help?????????

is it leaking fluid anywhere? the only thing that i think would cause it to be fixed and then not working a week later is a break in the fluid line.

could your steering pinch the break line?

Maybe try bleeding your brake fluid system...

I already did the bleeding more than once. It doesn't leak fluid. Everything looks normal. Pep boys couldn't find anything wrong with the brake system.

ok I spent the afternoon yesterday doing U turns around my house. lol The only time I have the problem is when I turn left. If I do a U turn to the right I don't have the problem.

Check to make sure your brake lines are clear of everything.
