2001 Ford Focus Brakes Go To Floor

Changed pads for about 3 weeks everything was working fine then problem came back.

2001 ford focus brakes go to floor. I have driven the car in reverse at about 10 miles an hour and then jam the pedal to the floor and that. If you let o read more. 1 leak from brake line or brake caliper. This problem typically occurs after.

After i was done i realized that the brake pedal was way to soft and went all the way to the floor so i went ahead and bled both driver and passenger side brakes. Pedal go to the floor pump the brakes 5 or 6 times and you get a little bit of resistance. My dad never used the parking brake and it was inop. I checked the brake fluid today and it was empty.

Last week my husband had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. Replaced master cylinder and gravity bled all lines. My 2009 had similar symptoms. There was some resistance around 1 2 way but they perhaps over a second the pedal would continue to sink to that 3 4 point.

Axle bearings hold the brake rotor true without play while they both rotate. The final reason for a brake pedal to go to the floor is failing axle bearing. If this bearing goes bad it will allow the brake rotor it move back and fourth which pushes the caliper piston back into the caliper creating an air gap.

I just filled that up pumped the brake car off 20 times like someone told me to do and it still is the same.

The front brake pads are shoved up against the disc no space between. Meaning the brake pedal would slowly sink down to 3 4 of the way to the floor before the brakes would really engage. The leak may coming from a brake line or one of the brake calipers on your vehicle. 1976 ford f250 brake pedal go to the floor.

Since then the brake pedal has been going all the way to the floor and barely stops. I have a 2001 ford focus and i just changed the front brake pads and rotors. One of the reasons is the brake system loses pressure from an external brake fluid leak.
