No leaks anywhere, have not lost a drop of brake fluid. In frustration
I have replaced a right rear wheel cylinder and the master cylinder
with no luck in finding the problem. After bleeding the brakes, I get a hard pedal. After three or four days of driving, the pedal goes to the floor.
Can pump up the brakes and hold the pedal, but I keep getting more air into the brake lines. The right rear line has the most air when bleeding.
Have been to the dealer twice with no success, they are as stumped as I am.
Anyone in the forum ever have a similar experience?
Any mechanics have any suggestions of how to fix this?
Thank you,

Who replaced the front pads? Your fluid should have gone done as the front pads wore down. As far as still getting air in the system and not losing any fluid the master cylinder would have been where I would check. You state you had that replaced. Was the old one no good or was it still okay? I assumed a professional replaced these. Did they give you the old one back? Just because they state they replace the cylinder doesn't mean it happen or the rebuilt one has the same problem. Let us know what happens.
