Okay, so yesterday, I had got the oil changed in the car, since then, the BRAKE idiot light on the dash board has been on. The light had come on after the person who changed the oil put the car on ramps then engaged the parking brake, then when they were done, they disengaged the parking brake, then the BRAKE light on the cluster came on.
Just today, while I was driving the car I Slightly stepped on the brake pedal and the cars' tires screeched and slowed the car down fast. The tires still have good tread, the ground and tires were dry. For 8 blocks there were no brake problems since, then when I had to brake again I depressed the brake, and it was squishy 3/4 of the way down and you could feel it was not grabbing until the last 1/4 to the floor, until I had to depress the brakes all the way to the floor just to barely stop. This was all the same day. There were smaller problems related to the brakes after the oil change, but they were not too serious as the ones today.
So in the same day within 20 minutes of each other, the car had brakes that made the tires screech when barely depressing the pedal, and another time when the car brakes would have to be depressed all the way to the floor to stop.
So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what was wrong with the car?
I don't know if there is a problem with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), the caliper lines, or the brake fluid.
The car did Not shake, nor did the steering wheel, and the car did not pull to either side before, after nor during when the car was having problems.
There was no brake problems what-so-ever before this. The brake pads, rotors and calipers are good so they have nothing to be part of the problem.|||You might have a wheel cylinder leaking or ABS pump getting ready to go out
