dodge stratus brake problem

dakota1955 · #1 08-17-2005, 12:44 AM

My brake pedal was going almost to the floor. I checked pads (70%left), Bled brakes and they improved-hard,solid pedal. When I test drove it, about 1 out of 12 times on the brakes yielded the same results (pedal to floor), Anyone else had this problem?

I think you might get more help if this was posted in the Stratus forum.

with the pedal going to the floor after you bled the system it sounds like its something such as the piston on caliper loosing pressure or even maybe the master cylinder bleeding of pressure.

I have 1998 Dodge stratus. I used to have to press the brake to the floor to stop it from moving. A week ago, I was changing brake fluid and broke the rear centric wheel cylinder (for drum brakes). It turns out it was already cracked, and air was getting in there, causing the car to brake bad and have a loud noise while driving.

I replaced both rear centric wheel cylinders for $20 a piece, now it's good braking and no more noise. Hope this helps

Would you be willing to share which stratus you have? 95-00 are first generation. If you have an 01+ we will NEED to know if it's a coupe or sedan. Also, since you are having braking issues, do you have disk/drum or 4 wheel disk. The more information you can share, the more we're able to help you out.
