My son was driving his 2007 chevy Equinox around 50 mph and noticed a smell coming from the brakes. He got home and told me they were dragging. I checked them after they cooled down. My initial thought was worn pads. I pulled the wheels and calipers and pads were good. However I could not compress the dual pistons back into the housing on either side until I loosened the bleeder screw. Being careful to not get air in the system, I was able to get the pistons back into the housing to make sure they were not stuck. I reassembled the brake system and tires. I tried to put the brakes to force the front pistons back out, but I had no pressure. I started the vehicle to see if the brakes were working, no they aren't. Now I have no breakes, front or rear! fluid will not flow back to master cylinder nor will fluid flow to calipers. My question is, master cylinder or abs module.
While driving the chevy 2007 Equinox, the brake pedal felt spongie, so I took it in to chevy thorobred for a sfety check. I was told by service that it was my master cylinder going out and that it needed to be replaced. I asked if this item was covered under pwer train warrenty; it was not. Could this be due to poor materials/ or something he could not say. I said that my auto had 58833 miles is that kinda early for such a part to brake down? I will look on the internet to see if there was a recall notice.
