1994 Toyota Camry, Brake Pedal Goes to the Floor

The brake pedal goes to floor board. Running or not. The brakes do not stop the car. What could the problem be?

Steve Says,

It sounds like you have a leak in your braking system that has let all of the brake fluid leak out. One easy way to check this is to put more fluid in the brake master cylinder, then pump the pedal. After you have given it several pumps go around the outside of your car and see if you can see any fluid on the ground or on the inside of your wheels.

Check under the dash near where the brake pedal is to see if there is any fluid there. If there is it indicates a leaky master cylinder. If you find fluid leaking near any of the wheels you are looking at bad brake hoses, lines or wheel cylinders.

If you put fluid back in the master cylinder you might get the brakes working enough to get your car to a brake repair shop to have the system repaired.

I hope this has helped you with your brake leak problem.
