I'm working on my fathers second gen Tacoma its a 2005 4x4 with a 1GR-FE. I replaced 2 of the brake lines that had been rusted and leaking I also replaced the master cylinder. I just cant get the pedal feel to be consistent I've been over all the brake lines there no leaks. I've bled the lines like a thousand times but even when I made progress the system would just take on air again and not hold a good brake pedal feel. Is it possible for air to get into the system without fluid leaking out? I used a fitting on one of my brake lines that I think may not have been a perfect fit even though it doesn't leak and felt like a good fit is it possible air could be entering through there somehow? I had also questioned if air could be entering around the front bleeder screws because on one of the front calipers I had a series of bubbles come out that was definitely greater than the volume of the brake system. I cant find a leak anywhere and even driving it and watching the fluid level I don't seem to be losing any fluid at all. Thank you all in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi! My girlfriend have a hyundai tucson 2007 that now have an occasional brake problem.. Sometimes the warning lights for brake and battery lights up. When this happens the power brakes disappear and are gone as long as the warning lights are on. She are able to extinguish the warning lights by turning the car off then on again. The brakes works good otherwise, no strange sounds, good pads, no vibrations and such.. it’s just when the warning lights turns on that the power brakes disappear. I have checked all brakes but can’t see any obvious problem there. I figured that if the belt are slipping it would be a bit more frequent problem. An other thing we noticed is that when the warning lights are lit, the power disappears to window heating buttons for front and rear windshield. Don’t know how that could be connected but when when the warning lights disappear and brakes start working, so do window heating. Used an OBDII but it did not reveal any fault codes. Anyone who recognize the problem or have a possible solution?

Hello there, So I am repairing an old Audi A6 C5 Avant 2.8 Quattro Triptronic, and when I wanted to change the rear brakes everything went smoothly, but when I then screwed on the wheels again both brakes are now stuck. I have tried reading about what it could be and the only thing I could find out is that the parking brake might be stuck or rusted in place, since the parking brake was on for over 2 months straight. I have tried taking off the brakes again and putting the old ones back on but the wheels still are stuck when I screw them back on, so it is not the new brakes. Kind Regards Kean Almskou

Hey guys, last night I drove my Mini JCW for about 1.5 miles with the parking brake partially on reaching speeds of about 50 mph. I pulled over and saw my rear left brake rotor glowing orange, and definitely smelled it. I waited for it to cool and then drove home; I even tested the parking brake out the next morning and it worked fine. Is this cause for any major concern? -
2008 Honda Accord Sport. The brakes won’t lock up when I pull the ebrake. Rear left and right calibers replaced. Abs fuse pulled (hopefully completely disabled). I know the cable is a little loose, but is there anything else I can check?

I recently brought my 2005 Pontiac G6 to the mechanic because of a clicking/popping sound that was coming from the front right of my car. Whenever I hit my brakes at low speeds, I'd hear the sound, but it would disappear once I took my foot off the brake pedal and got up to speed. I thought it might be an issue with my tie rods. The mechanic checked out my tie rods, and told me that not only did these need to be replaced but so did my steering rack, bushings, and sway bar ($1500 in repairs for this). I thought this would take care of the issue, but I still hear the sound when I brake. I'm kind of peeved because it cost so much to fix all of this and I'm still having the original problem! Any thoughts? My mechanic said they took a look at the brakes and didn't see any issues - of course, that was not what I thought the problem was so I don't think they spent a lot of time looking at them. (Note: my brakes work just fine and I haven't noticed a change in how the pedal feels. However, last summer my brakes got stuck because the pads, calipers, and lines were completely rusted out without my knowing and they almost caught on fire. I had that all replaced less than a year ago, so I'm slightly worried that it has something to do with that.) Any help would be appreciated! I really don't know much about cars.. -

Hi Folks, I drive a 2004 Sunfire and recently the brakes have started to just randomly "lock on" while driving. Upon visual inspection I noticed that the gasket for the brake fluid reservoir has holes in it - could the loss of vacuum in the brake system cause this? I have ordered a replacement gasket from Amazon Seems that if I pull over, remove the reservoir lid and reseat the gasket, then let the car sit off for awhile it corrects itself Before this started occurring I had the brakes visually inspected and the car test driven (unrelated) by a mechanic, and he said everything seemed fine Would really appreciate any insight you folks might have Thank you!

Recently, I was having a discussion with my dad, who was complaining about having to use too much force to shift his car out of park from his driveway. It is a pretty steep downhill slope. I told him when parking it, apply the parking brake, take the foot off the normal brake, and then shift into park. Then, when pulling out, shift into reverse, while holding the brake, and then release the parking brake. Does this information sound correct? He has a 2011 Subaru Legacy with the CVT and electronic parking brake.
