Q:What is the BEST car with Antilock Brake System?

My Jeep Grand Cherokee has outstanding Antilock brakes, and the ABS system even works in 4WD unlike most vehicles that the ABS is disabled when in 4WD. Its the only vehicle I've driven that the ABS actually works like its supposed to.

Q:I have a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 4wd extended cab pickup. I was driving in 4wd auto yesterday and my brake pedal went to the floor, it stops the truck but its low to the floor. Anyway i decided to put the truck back into 2hi and the brake pedal was fine. It did not go to the floor and felt normal. What is causing this and how do i repair it?

if the brake pedal goes to the floor only once and then pumps up right away i would check my front wheel bearings for play, they can push your front pads apart causing excessive travel before pumping up again, noticed this myself in my 2000 especially cornering or pulling away from the curb, something to check. also a vacuum loss would give a hard pedal (no assist)

Q:I‘ve noticed the parking brake indicator lighting up when turning left, its happening consistently at the same turn every day on my communte in the afternoon. It came on once in the morning also. I jostled the parking brake, but it was not set, nor anywhere near set. Considering the spedometer is not functional, I‘m wondering if all the instrumentation is just going, or is there a problem with my brakes? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Your brake fluid is a little low, top it off and have the brakes checked soon.

Q:Mercury Sable 1997. Brakes got a little mushy last week, found the culprit, a rusted very teeny pinhole leak in the metal line to the rear passenger wheel, replaced the whole line, bled the brake system. During the bleeding process the pedal would get stiff, but lose that strength when bleeding to the next wheel. Took car out for run and when I braked on gravel the pedal was strong and where it should be, but on pavement, it was squishy.bled all the wheels again and the same thing, after awhile the brakes were even mushy on the gravelchecked all line, connections, hoses, back plate, etc., master cylinder for leaks--cannot find any.I do recall a month ago during a hard brake my car pulling to the right, though during my semi-hard brakes fro this recent brake issue testing, no pulling happened. I was told it might be the master cylinder, though possible, it seems the odds of a break line leak along with a bad master cylinder seems like high odds.

I used an old plastic shower curtain and strong magnets and covered my windshield and wipers that way. The shower curtain was stronger than a regular trash bag, but a leaf yard bag might work good too.

Q:My car (Toyota FJ Cruiser) has stock 265/75R16 tires. The closest size for winter tires i could find for it was 245/75R16. As I used the tire calculator thing, it said i have 3.8% difference in my speedometer. Is that a big deal for braking system or anything else?

as long as u have the same size all round u shouldn't have a prob at all u will get probs when there r diff size tires front 2 back coz it will mess up wheel speed sensors 4 your abs other then your speedo being out u shouldn't have any probs at all

Q:I think i was overcharged. In their service booklet, they had a plus brake service that includeded brake system flush for aroud $250. Service advisor charged me for the brake flush. I had a 01 Honda accord V6. Was I overcharged? Yet the front wheels were still squeaking.

At my company (MIdas) we would have charged $39 for a brake flush, ceramic pads would have been approx $160 installed and would have carried a lifetime warranty on the pads and 1 year on labor. $160 +$39 +tax plus we have a coupon online for $10 off any service over $50.

Q:My teenage son informed me that he has no brakes in his 93 pontiac sunbird. When I checked it out I found that the pedal has no pressure and pushes to floor. I told my son that has leak in brake lines.My son in his infinite wisdom decided to fill the master cylinder with water to try and find the leak. Needles to say I was a little P.O‘d when he did this.My question is, will I be able to correct this, or is it better to simply replace entire braking system? I am thinking that everything to the calipers is going to be screwed because of this water.I am tempted to scrap the vehicle over it, it was a cheap $600 transportation special and I really don‘t want to invest hundreds to repair all of that.

Well you infinite wisdom child could now learn how to replace brake lines and front and rear brakes and the whole deal, if you scrap it you will have to buy him another junker, so spen the $200 to replace it and allow your son to understand and gain knowledge.

Q:when i depress the pedal all the way in, the car brakes fine. if i lift my foot off the pedal and press it again really quick, it feels as if im pressing the brakes with the car engine off. that really hard feeling, you know?when i replaced them, im sure i did everything right.and i checked the brake fluid before and after i returned the caliper to the original position (to fit the new pads with the rotor). im just not sure if im missing something? cuz i thought it was supposed to be good after u drive it for like 5 minutes!thanks for any help

they're fresh man. they need to break in a little bit. 5 minutes my ***
