Brake petal goes to the floor then you can pump it up.

I just replaced rotors and disc pads on all 4 wheels, the petal now goes to the floor, and then you can pump it up. Chrysler sebring convertable 2004

    Did you Lossen up the Bleader Valve when you Forced the piston back into the caliper? If you did not you could have damaged the calipers if it has anti lock brakes.

I just changed all 4 discs and pads. I have pumped and pumped the brake pedal and bled the system to no avail. I still can't get the petal to firm up. When engine is off, I can quick pump the petal...

If the system was fine before you changed the discs then it is most likely that the system has air in it or you have a leak at one of the cylinders. Double check your work, inspect the cylinders for leaks. on the rears you can pull the handbrake on and off a few times to adjust the rear pad position.

Bleeding is done one wheel at a time. Start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work your way closer ( RRear, LRear, RFront, then LFront). The order is not really that important since they are on separate circuits on modern cars with ABS systems. But there is no reason not to stick to the tried and tested method. Keep the fluid topped up and if possible use a clear pipe on the nipple of the cylinder you are bleeding so that you can see if there are air bubbles in the system.

Brake petal goes all the way to the floor no leaks antwhere front passenger pad stuck closed on rotor front passenger rotor pad bolts very hot after driving

the bolts are getting really hot because the friction of the pads running on the rotor the whole time whilst driving.
the pedal problem could be a few things but the most likely is either that the brake fluid needs replacing because it's got water in it,
there's air in the lines or the brakes master cylinder seals need replacing due to age.

LOW BRAKE PEDAL ON 4 WHEEL DISK BRAKES

Check the pads/rotors to see if they need to be replaced.
Check the brake fluid level. If low it could mean the pads/rotors need to be replaced. If replacing also replace the brake fluid.
Two years probably means you need a brake job.

Otherwise you may have air in the brake lines which you can bleed off.

Changed front brake pads. brake pedal goes to floor. no brakes

Something doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to remove the brake line to install pads. Did you have to do this on both sides? Do the new pads and the old pads look the same? Did you get the caliper on crooked? Just recheck your work first before replacing more parts. When you install the caliper, You have to hook the pad on one side first before you slide it over the rotor.

Parking brake pedal goes to floor

Hello;
The parking brake cables may be stretched and in need of adjustment. Follow the cables along to a nut. Then you can tighten the adjusters up on both sides until you have the proper tension. Also make certain none of the brackets are bent or broken that the cables ride through.
Thanks;

Front brakes feel mushy after being replaced

You have air in your break lines. The two ways you can solve this problem is have the breaks blead to get the air out of the lines, or you can take the top of the break reservoir and pump your breaks to the floor. DONOT DO THIS With the car moving. What this will do is force the air to the reservoir.

Brakes bad even after replacing pads/rotors

You need to replace the master cylinder. If all else is good and the petal goes to the floor, that's really about all it could be.
