Brakes Struggled To Pull Up? What Happen?

[GD51LA]

Normaly these brakes don't have a problem in pulling up

But the other day I was doing 110 or so and jumped on the brakes hard but she didn't pull up like she usually does, I had my foot pressed as hard as i could but the car woudnt come to a complete stop? The pads weren't hot or anything, i was normal driving before that..

they must be failing.... so you should sell the whole brake kit to me cheap and you get some newer bigger brakes

Sounds like air in the brake lines, brake fluid could have boiled.. when was the last time the fluid was changed?

[Marlin]

So many options.

1. Boiled fluid at some stage, causing air in the lines?

2. Glazed discs?

3. Glazed rotors?

4. Does it have pads left?

5. Old fluid soaked with water?

6. Internally leaking master cylinder?

If it really didn't come to a complete stop as you said, well, get it checked ASAP!

You'll have to catch it first though.....

Is it still out there rolling along by itself somewhere?

7. Pistons seizing in the calipers.

I haven't changed the fluid from when I imported it. That's another thing on the list. How can I tell if the discs are still any good?

True, but extremely uncommon on Sumitomo calipers.

Still check them though, especially if your car is showing any signs of corrosion, ie, it came from the snowy/salted area of Japland.

Change the fluid asap, and bleed the air out (get it done professionally if you've never done it before)

Who imported it for you as it is a requirement according to the Motor Vehicle Standards Regulations 1989 for the all of the brake fluid to be changed, take it back and tell them to do there job correctly.
