Civic 2006 Brake Pedal all the way down to stop
Hello,
I was wondering what are the possible causes that when I press the brake pedal I need to really push it all they way down to stop the car. I took it to the shop but I do still fill the same. Thoughts? Thanks for your help, G |
You said you took it to a shop... what exactly did they do?
Sounds to me like it'd either be a mass amount of air in your lines somewhere or a bad master cylinder. Need to know what the shop did though... |
Hi, thanks for your reply. They did the following:
Rear Drum Brake Service. Brake Fluid Flush. |
My money would be air in the brake lines. Try having the brakes bled at a reputable shop (or do it yourself) and that should fix the problem.
*edit: just realized the problem was present before the car was taken to a shop... could definitely be a master cylinder issue as well. I'd start by bleeding the brakes, though, as it's borderline free to do yourself (free if you already have brake fluid laying around, a few bucks for brake fluid if you don't). |

When i had my rear drums replaced i had the same issue. They adjusted my emergency brake and that worked for me
