The rear passenger brake isn't working. I was able to push the caliper in easily so I don't think it is jammed. I replaced the rubber hose going from the caliper to the metal brake line. There is fluid coming out of the metal brake line when I unscrew it from the connector to the rubber hose. No fluid comes out of the bleeder valve when I tried to bleed it. Also, when I bleed the driver rear caliper fluid comes out and the caliper is working fine.
Are there two brake fluid reservoirs? And are both full? This would be a split-diagonal brake system-front driver and rear passenger are one brake system. Front passenger and rear driver are the other system. You have the one system working-the front passenger and rear driver side works. You will have to keep bleeding the rear passenger side and the front driver side-always start farthest from the master cylinder, but if that wheel just won't bleed air out, make sure the driver front is working and bleeds good. If all else fails, there are pressure bleeder kits available, I don't know the cost, but they work great. They are also a one man bleeding job, as I understand.
You better check that hose, make sure it has no blockage. Just possible you got a defective hose.
I replaced the rubber hose with a new one.
Yes, but...fluid comes out before the hose, as it should. Fluid should also easily come out the end of the hose. I would take it off and blow through it, just to check.

First check tire pressure. The proper tire pressure should be on a label located on the driver's door jam. The next items to check would be the suspensions system for broken or wore out parts. The last thing to check is proper operation with rear brakes. I think this car has rear disc. Check how much lining is left on all 4 brake pads they should all be about the same if not something is not working or hanging up. It is common for the sliding pins on the calipers on these vehicles.
I do think the brakes is most likely your problem but all the other stuff can cause the same effect.
I hope this helps you out.

I had someone pump my brakes (pressure built up) and hold the petal down. When I crack the bleeder no fluid or air comes out. Also, the petal did not drop to the floor when I cracked the bleeder valvue. I tried this for about 5 minutes. Also the other 3 calipers are working just fine.
Maybe the bleeder screw is plugged. Take it completely off and check.
I tried taking the bleeder value all the way out and no difference. Also, I am not getting any fluid coming out of the new rubber hose when I remove it from the caliper. I Only removed it to see if fluid was getting to the caliper.
