  1. Yes master replaced twice now. i have unplugged the hose to the electronic vacuum pump and no difference.
  2. Yes I am aware. the bleeding procedure on journeys are LR,RF,RR,LF. witch I have done multiple times, also have done the automated bleeding procedure many times. have done a pressure test over night and it did not move when checked in the morning. I have Put close to 5Gallons of fluid in this system bleeding the brakes. I am positive there is no air getting into the system
  3. I Replaced them Just because I already bought them once and they wanted. 750$$ to Replace Both Rear Calipers
  4. So got to the point where I was just scratching my head, so I took it into town to the Chrysler dealer. Told them everything I did and what its doing. they had it for about 2 weeks before I got a call. the told me it was the rear calipers, witch is weird because I just replaced all calipers with new. not reman. so I took what they said and warrantied them out and no difference. I'm at a lost and not sure what to do next...
  5. I have used manual, pressure and electronic bleeding procedures, al hard lines have been looked over and are in immaculate condition. I have already let it sit over night many times to hopefully find a drip somewhere and no luck. And all wheel will continue to lock up as they should. what is puzzling is that when the the engine is off and hitting the brake pedal it is stiff like it should be. even when you give it a day it is still stiff, it will not soften or move as if there was air still in the system or getting into the system.
  6. Yes I replaced all soft lines to the calipers. i will be looking into the vacuum pump today
  7. Ok so hoping for some help. Grandmother has a 2011 journey AWD with disc brakes all around. they were in need of rear brakes. so she took it to her local shop intown. the did the work and when she got the vehicle back the brake pedal would bleed to the ground but it did have brakes. She took it back to the shop. *Will do My Best To Explain Everything* Once they had it back the figured it just needs to be bleed, (Didn't work) Second they replaced the master cylinder factoring in the symptoms. (Didn't work) Third they couldn't figure it out themselves so they towed it to Chrysler dealer and had them Diagnose, Was told it was the rear right caliper, Replaced it and same issue continued. They Gave up and told her sorry. Week later she brought it to my shop. First Looking over everything that had previously been done, in my opinion master cylinder did not look new, (Northern IL Vehicle you can tell if something is new or been effected be our Salty Winters) So replaced master cylinder with new, Bleed the system and seemed to have a hard firm pedal with engine off and engine running. Great figured it out and decided to Drive it for a day home. Started it up to go to work the next day and pedal goes to floor. BUT IT STILL HAS BREAKS, just bleeds to the floor Get to the shop and start some diagnosing. Removed all wheels and did a brake test. Found front right caliper frozen, replaced both front calipers. After bleeding found right rear caliper is extending and then retracting completely with the release of brake pedal. Replaced left rear caliper. So all Calipers have Been Replaced For the hell of it I replaced all soft lines and brake booster. Bleed system and Pedal still Bleeds to the floor but it has brakes. I'm Stumped Sense the rest of the brake system has been replaced I went ahead and replaced the abs Pump/control Module. Bleeding the Brake System Over and Over mechanically and electronically still no difference in pedal. Checked all Brake System Fuses, All Good. And of course all this work is no charge to my grandmother. Any help would be appreciated!
