Brake Pedal Acting a Bit Strange

[SuperG]

I replaced the rear rotors and pads, then I pumped the brakes until everything seemed normal...the brake feel was much better than before (pads were completely worn out!)...However, I have found many times the brakes immediately engage when I press my foot to the pedal, but many other times I must press the pedal quite a bit before the brakes engage...feeling a little sloppy.

Does anyone know what this is?

mine does the same thing sometimes. i dont have a good explanation. but i think im going to invest in all new calipers this summer. im hoping it will help.

do they require more pressure after they have been used awhile, or is it totally random?

 

[SuperG]

Sorry for the late reply, GreenBird...it's totally random and I don't like that fact. I wish I could resolve this issue, not that I am totally concerned...the car stops much better than before, especially because it's not grinding anymore!

Gary,
Make sure those brakes are functional in Austin. You will be on them all day!!!! thumb
