Does the car roll back freely, even with the parking brake all the way to the floor? Scary if it does

driftGT350: Sorry about contributing to the thread 'jack -- just trying to help. FWIW, your problem does sound like air in the lines. Also, upgrading to stainless steel braided brake lines can help give a stiffer pedal feel (but not if there's air in them
).

).it's cool i understand, but i got another question, how the heck did i get air in them?
the infiniti dealer flushed them out for me...?
unless flushing brakes, and bleeding brakes are not the same thing!
also where is a reliable place to take my car to =\
hopefully i can do it by today, i can't take it anymore!!! aaah no time i am @ work right now thanks
yes they are two different things.
bleeding gets air out flushing gets fluid out.
they prolly screwed up the bleeding process after they flushed them. the master cylinder probably got too low one time when they were bleeding and sucked in air.
you could take it to any brake shop and have it done. or you could probably do it yourself. if you do it yourself though i would suggest gettin someone thats done it before to help you since you seem to be new to this thing.
