Been to the deliver twice on this problem. Brake work fine when you apply them and no problem with the ABS working. The question is if I apply pressure on the brake pedal it will slowly go the floor when the engine is running. Engine off the pedal is firm after about 1 inch movement.
Dealer replaced the master cylinder and put in new fluid and bleed the system. Pads are good and no leak's showing any place. The pedal still went to the floor with the steady pressure applied. Took car in the second time and they bleed the system again. The save effect was still there.
The ford service mechanic said this is normal for the vacuum booster on the Lincoln. The steadily pressure is bleeding off the vacuum and the pedal will move down. But if you turn the engine off and apply the pressure the pedal will stop going down after about 1 inch and this proves the vacuum booster is O.K.
The brakes work fine at all stop intersections and no problem on stopping fast.
Is this normal for the boosters to allow the pedal to go to the floor?
Thanks
