Brakes issue

[Explorer75]

Hello

I don´t know if it´s a thing about the explorers but the initial bite on the brakes is almost non existent. When you press the brake pedal you begin to feel resistance but the brakes almost won´t engage, the truck won´t brake much, just a tiny bit. I have to press harder and it does begin to brake and it does fine after that initial "lag". It was like this with the previous rotors and pads and I replaced everything (first pads, then rotors and pads) and brakes were bled with fresh fluid everytime, it´s pretty much the same, no major improvement. Every time I drive another car, any car, I´m like breaking like crazy because all brakes start to brake right away.


Anyone experiencing the same with the explorer? is there a fix?


Thanks in advance

Did you bleed the brakes?

I edited my post, yes they were bled.

I would try bleeding again could be air trapped somewhere that's compressing or you have a failing master

Ok that's a one person bleeding system you could ask a friend to help you bleed them the old fashioned way lol saves 80 bucks?

Motormite sells bleeder screws with a built in check valve for one man bleeding.

nah bleeding does nothing i have this problem too. really it just feels like the truck weighs 4000lbs more than it actually does. Its bearable if you have good rotors.
