soft brake pedal

What is your question?

just came back from having the left rear caliper replaced, when I put the brakes on the first time my foot went to the floor so I drove around the block and kept trying them still to the floor unless you pump them 3 times . So I took it back and they tried to bleed them 10 times , still no better. Now I have to take it back again. Any ideas what is wrong . Pedal was fine before they worked on it. Thanks

they have air trapped somewhere. leave it there with them and have them pressure bleed the system to get rid of the air. they must find and purge the air before you get a good pedal. thanks for using repairpal. Roy

That is what I thought and they are telling me I need a master cylinder . I said the pedal was fine before you worked on it . THANKS !

Ended up being wrong caliper installed , I knew they were wrong when they told me it was a bad master cylinder [They blamed it on the part store for giving them the wrong one] Thanks for your input !!
