Asked by GuruTJVGM Jul 27, 2018 at 12:58 PM about the 2008 Kia Sorento Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello I took on a problem car 2008 Kia Sorento it's
been to 3 different shops now I have the lovely
thing. When you apply the brakes the pedal goes
all the way to the floor and car won't stop. This is
what's been done all new pads all new calipers
new master cylinder. That's what was done when I
got it I done some research I found out that the
ABS actuator pumps have problem with that year
so since that's about the last thing left to change I
got one at a salvage out of a car the brakes was
good in. No change still the same. And yes they the
whole system has been bleed what seems like 100
times because that's what it acts like what it need
please please help lol I'm about to burn it!!

I’m pretty sure there’s no pressure in the lines , so look @ them and replace them.

I'm not sure what you mean by that the lines will pressure up if you pump them 5 to 7 times they start to build up pressure then you can bleed them but after bleeding it's still the same but there's no air in the line fluid comes out a good solid stream but when you go back to apply the breaks again it goes to the floor unless you pump them 5 to 7 times. They act as there's still some bleeding to-do but that's been done over and over.
