CRTN Is Correct. You need to keep Bleeding the Entire System.

You need to bleed all four corners and when doing so use a hose from the bleeder valve into a clear jar half full of brake fluid. Keep The Hose Under The Level Or Air Will Get Back Into The System.
When Bleeding Close The Valve And Have Someone Push The Brake Pedal 1,2,3 Hold Then While The Person Is Still Holding The Brake Slightly Open The Valve Then Keep Doing It Until You Don't Even Get A Bubble. Do This On All 4 Wheels And You'll Be Good To Go.
The More Air That Comes Out The Harder The Pedal Will Get. Make Sure To Keep Filling The Reservoir Cause If It Empty's You'll Have To Start All Over.

Sincerely,
Michael Scott

'92 Jimmy rear brake failure
This will be a problem with either a collapsed brake line or the proportional valve. A collapsed line will not allow the proper flow and pressure to the brake assembly, and a faulty proportional valve will allow the pressure to bleed back into the system. You can test for these with a pressure tester. If the pressure is low but constant while the brake pedal is held down, it's a collapsed line. If the pressure drops off slowly while the brake pedal is held down, then it's the proportional valve.

2001 dodge caravan rear brake knocking when applying brakes
Sounds like you need some brake service. I would take your pads off and check them replace if necessary, check rotors and replace if needed, check calipers and replace if needed. If this is a drum set check shoes, and drum, and wheel cylinders. Bleed system.

Brake pedal often goes almost to floor-not spongy at all-doesn't seep if pressure constantly applied.
Hi,
Probably air in the brake system. Bleed your brakes thoroughly. Start with right rear, then left rear, then right front then left front. Maintain proper fluid level in master cylinder while bleeding. Brake pedal hieght comes from the rear brakes, as those are the longest brake lines in the system. Mike

Bmw 316ti shuddering when applying brakes
This condition indicates warped rotors. You will need to remove the rotors and have them turned on a brake laythe. Since you will have the calipers off, go ahead and replace the pads...its an inexpensive maintennance item. Good Luck, Hope this is helpful.
