Hi,

The problem I have is that the brake is not working properly. for the car to stop I have to push the Brake pedal all the way in and the last 1 inch is actually makes the car to stop. I've already changed the pads for all 4 wheels (all wheels are disct type) and tried to free air from brake fluid.

This issue gradually started to sho up when I took my car to a mechanic shop and they changed the pads but they didn't fasten the back brakes and while I was driving one of the screws fall down and it started making nois untill I stopped and I couldn't move the car because the brake system were hanged to the disc and the rim. They fixed it but after several months I started feeling that the brake is not performing well.

Now the question is, what part of the brake system you think should be fixed?

Please let me know if you have any questions or you want me to check something.

Thanks.

Hi Norouzi,

The master cylinder seems to be the problem. It is leaking internally causing the low brake pedal.
