Break problems in my Ford Taurus 1999?
I think I might need to bleed my breaks but I'm not sure.
I'll push my breaks all the way to the floor and it still won't stop completely. It still slowly stops as if I'm barely pushing on them. And the pressure is really hard. So I have no idea, what do I need to do?
You should bleed the brake fluid and refil it. If that doesn't work maybe invest in new brake pads on the tires.
First check the fluid in the master cylinder. If low fill you can bleed the brakes but I think the master is shot. Air in the lines would feel ok when pressed real light but then fade as you press harder and should hit the floor.
- Which car is the overall to keep for a couple of yrs? 1999 Nissan maxima, 1999 Altima, 2006 ford Taurus or 2002 buick lesabre? All of them have low mileage as the Taurus have 69000 and the maxima have the highest of 123000. They all under 1100 bucks.
- Need options on a break cylinder job for a 03 ford Taurus car? Need a few pointers and options on a car. So the break cylinder was bad and it got replaced. But it's still leaking a little fluid (not as much before it was replaced) and the car won't stop at all. Does the breaks need bled or what? The car won't stop period and it was driven for a bit with the cylinder bad. Is there a chance a lot of air is in the break lines and need bled? But would that make it leak a little fluid from the cylinder? Just need some options on what to do next.
- My 1999 Ford Taurus jumps a little bit when I put on a break what could that be? My 1999 Ford Taurus transmission went out all of the sudden and I've never had a problem with it. I put on a break and when I went to mash the gas, it would not go. What could the problem be
- My '06 Ford Taurus is having what i'm assuming transmission problems, any ideas? The other day while attempting to back up a small slope, my engine revved up and a message came on the info area of my dash saying to check the transmission. I turned off the car, turned it on and the check engine light was on. I go home and check the trans fluid and it's full. The next day I start my car and the check engine light is off, but now my car shakes on heavy acceleration and gear changes. I'm not a car person. Any ideas?
