The brakes don't work and its hard to stop. I got inside of this car too see for myself what they felt like and i could easily push the pedal to the floor. He acted like he didn't know what was wrong with them . He was just letting know that brakes wont stop the car so he would use the emergency brake and carefully stop the camry. I ask him later and he said he thinks that this car has drums for rear-wheels and rotors for the front wheels. He then told me that he thinks it is his front wheels. I want to know what the problem is with these brakes because i dont want to pay for extra parts and service

Hi Dtbacker,

When the brake pedal goes to the floor, it could be a bad master cylinder or leaks in the system.

Without any physical inspection of the vehicle it is impossible to conclude whaT ia wrong.
