Bravesball20 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 So eversince I first got my Accord from my dad and even before he had it the breaks were really soft. Everytime I stop at a light it slowly goes farther and farther down so I end up having to bury my foot into the carpet and then take my foot off so that it can get stiff again. I think its air in the brake lines but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Sounds like air in you brake lines. Or the lines themselves are just crappy and expanding a lot. First thing is bleed them, then see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sreekanthsk Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Idk havent noticed it if it hasnt. Too distracted with out fast it is now lol Hi Guys, I recently got my brakes checked from Firestone and they came up with a hugel list of things - Brake shoe change - Rear wheel cylinder replacement as the fluid was leaking. The quote for the above was around 565 bucks +Labor. I was not sure to get that done so i went to a honda dealer here and he inspected and said there is no problem what so ever also mentioned firestone folks always are that way. Honda has some service folks who work on commission and the rep said they would have definitely caught this anyways if such was the case.... What if i got it done at Firestone---would that not be a sheer case of cheating and fraud for getting something purposely without really requiring it. Can we tolerate such kind of straight cut illegal activity. Can i sue Firestone for this--- what do i do...i am in a fix and not sure whats up with my brakes and whom to believe...

airjordan223 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 You already posted a thread with that issue, there's no reason to post it in this guys thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 hey braves, could also have been a vacuum leak and when you swapped the motors out you could have simply fixed the vac leak allowing the brake booster to work at full capacity again.

cmgogo Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 then my guess would be you still have a vac leak, either that or you knicked the seal on the MC when you were bleeding by allowing the pedal to travel 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clos891 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My Accord did this a while back where the brake pedal would slowly go all the way down to the floor at a stop light, I had a bad master cylinder after I replaced it everything worked fine I would suggest bleeding it first though just incase.
