Brakes feel floopy toyota solara 2006

Topic starter

Hi, I've got an 06 toyota solara 135k miles, I had my brake pads and rotors replaced on all 4 tires, even the rear clippers for the rear as they had seized, but now my brakes feel sort of floppy, like I need to floor the brake padle to come to a complete stop,  please how can I fix this? Will like the brakes to be much more harder and stop faster. 

 

Thank you for your insights 

Happy New Year

 How old is the brake fluid? Did you bleed the system?

Who did the work?  Sounds like the system was not properly bled.  Take it back and have this critical system done correctly.


Hi @doc @yaser I didn't do the job myself, took it to a mechanic
So I should tell him to bled the system?


Take it back to whoever did the job.


Okay. I kinda did the front (rotors and brake pads) someplace else and the rear, (rotors, pads and clippers) which had the seized clippers at another shop, which will most likely be the culprit?

The place that did the rear calipers.  Just replacing the pads and rotors would not necessarily open the system.  Replacing the rear calipers definitely would open the system as they would have to be disconnected to be replaced.


Okay, thank you @doc


@doc @yaser he said the brake isn't supposed to be stiff because of the ABS, that it's fine like that 😔
About how much will it cost me to make it firmer, hopefully nothing outrageous, can I do it myself????


If the air got into the ABS module, you may need a scan tool to bleed it. Since you don't have experience with it, I would suggest finding another shop to do it for you.


Okay sir, thank you @yaser


You're welcome. Keep us posted.


Will do,
Thank you again.
