| Oct 24, 2023 at 14:18 | comment | added | F Dryer | I wonder if the mechanic overlooked brake fluid level after servicing brakes. When a brake pedal goes to the floor, there are a few reasons to explain it; low brake fluid with the brake indicator turning on, a worn brake master cylinder, damage to a brake line allowing fluid to leak out, not tightening brake hose or bleed screw during repairs. Brake repairs are not diy friendly and requires knowledge of hydraulic principles, hydraulic pressures, diagnosing and separating the basic brake system from abs, and knowing what parts meet minimums to replace, and flush/bleed methods. | |

| Oct 24, 2023 at 10:32 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | Because your mechanic worked on your brakes the day prior to their failure, you may want to consider making that mechanic your ex-mechanic. | |
| Oct 24, 2023 at 10:30 | comment | added | Enter4343 | Correct, they worked on my brakes the day prior to their failure. I will ask my mechanic what he meant by "not going back in" and report back. | |
