Low brake pedal

Hi,

I drive a 97 2.2 CL. The brakes have been really low for a while and apparently I had a leak in the master cylinder. I had it replaced at the dealer. The brakes are still pretty low. I still have to press down pretty hard and far to stop. Nothing like the response time I had on the loaner TSX they let me drive. I brought it back in yesterday to complain and they said that's how brakes are in CLs. I've had the car for a couple of years and the brakes have always been somewhat lower than other cars I've driven. Does anyone else have this problem with a CL or should i just take it back again and tell him other CLs don't have this issue?

Nope, My brakes are fine... Take that shit back man.... I doubt that they bled it right, or at all.

Not bled right, or not enough brake fluid.

defintily not bled right. bleeding all 4 brakes takes longer than replacing the master cylinder itself. trust me i did all that shit, i replaced mine and ive never had a problem since (knock on interior woodgrain)
