Hi, my name is not Anthony and thank you all. And as far as me making comments I'm really trying to find out what is wrong with my car. They have not found a leak and I've been to two separate auto shops. And actually only one person has given me advice as far as brakes go and they actually did say that the problem would be solved by getting a bigger braking system . My pads and rotors were new when I got the car and they didn't see anything wrong but my brakes continue to go to the floor with no stop! This is not a fucking joke. I came on here looking for real help! This is the answer I was given. . Also other post that I've read said something about something in the braking systen getting too hot and that's what's causing the air bubbles
Has anybody actually solved the issue of the brakes. I bought a 09 used Journey and have been having break problems every month. I CAN'T take this any more!

Yes, this problem was solved by putting the dual piston calipers on from a 2012 or newer model. You can only do this if you're wheels are large enough to allow the larger rotor and caliper to fit. My '09 Journey has 19" wheels, so it wasn't a problem. I think you can get away with the larger hardware if you have 17' wheels, but you should double check, definitely won't work with 16" wheels. I think there is a thread pinned to the top for this problem, it's kinda long, but in there you'll find everything you need to know. With the original calipers and rotors I was replacing pads and turning rotors twice a year. Since I swapped out for the larger size, it's been four years and I'm almost ready to replace the pads. I got my caliper at a junkyard and bought new rotors, it's an easy do-it-yourself project and doesn't cost very much.
