I have a 2003 Aztec that is continually having brake problems. The dealer says they have repaired everything, including a master cylinder, new tires, new rotors, new pads… Has anyone had that same problem and what did they do?

You might get better responses if you can explain what kind of “brake problems” you are talking about. There can be so many.

The brakes start out with a grinding sound and feel under the brake pedal, and then you can put the pedal to the floor and the car skips to a stop.

The brake pedal actually travels all the way to the floor?

That’s a faulty master cylinder, air in the system and/or faulty brake calipers.
