Q: Brakes still touching the floor
At first when I stopped I heard grinding noises, one day I tried to stop but my foot went straight to the floor and I couldn't. I looked under the hood it was no brake fluid. I put brake fluid in and it leaked out under the passenger tire. I changed the brake pads, and the rotor on that side, both were in bad condition and since then I've seen no leak but when I turn on the truck my brake petal is still touching the floor & the truck will not stop at all. 04 Chevy Suburban
My car has an automatic transmission.
