I got most of the components in the braking system (pads, rotors, bearings, calipers.... everything excepts hoses) replace about 1 yr 10k miles back from local Just brakes

Recently I observed that when I apply the brakes I found that the pedal floor's on constant force.

The brake fluid level seems to be at normal/max level, so I am not suspecting any leak in the system.

However, I am suspecting the following:
- Air has got into the system and am planning on bleeding the brakes.

Any other suggestion as to what else could be wrong, please advice.

Thanks!!

well, it's easy to check for leaks as you should notice a drop in fluid level at the brake fluid reservoir. if it looks okay, then have the brakes properly bled. if that's still not working, then your brake master cylinder might be going out. how old is the car and how many miles?

I have a 94 Honda Accord 2Dr LX, 90k miles. I got the brakes system changed around 80k miles.

Why did you have the whole system replaced?

wow, talk about low mileage. :O i assume you didn't change your brake master cylinder, correct?

my BMC started showing signs of leakage around 85-90k miles. on cold days, i guess the rubber seal shrinks so it brakes better. but when the temperature got higher than 90 degrees outside, the pedal would lose pressure. i didn't realize what was wrong until 125k miles when the cylinder finally gave out completely. so my guess is if it's not air in your system, then your brake master cylinder is starting to go (especially now that the weather's getting warmer).

Brakes we performing badly. So I took the car in for a check up. I basically wanted to get a fiction re-line, pads changed, bearing/calipers adjusted and the system checked. While performing the friction reline Just Brakes "experts" screwed up my rotors... so they changed them too..

Correct. Did not change the BMC.
