A few years ago, about 3, my father accidentally put oil into the brake fluid reservoir of our GMC Acadia, we never did anything to fix it until recently when my father decided to take it into a shop to get it fixed, the situation turned out to be too much for them and instead just changed our tires…

For some reason he uses the Acadia for his second job at the restaurant, he says its so our speaker system won’t get s…

my 2 cents.( not worth much) yes the car should be fixed or taken off the road. and yes the father is being irresponsible and some people need a swift kick in the butt to understand. but OPs father is not reading this. I dont think calling OPs dad a idiot or jerk is they way to go. how would you …

Agree with what you said 100 percent. Personally, I’d change the master cylinder and flush the brake fluid and then see how it stops vs just replacing everything off the bat.
