My most favorite topic! (Not..)
I'm having a minor problem with my cars breaking system, I think its a problem anyway.
To start with, the rear shoes were replaced by a shop, and ever since then, I have had this problem.
When I am moving, If I push the break pedal, It feels like just the front breaks are engaging. If I let go, and start to pump it, with each pump, the breaks feel much better, the way they should feel on the first pump.
Is this a bleeding issue? Or something completely different? Anyone else had any similar problems?
Right now my front pads are about 40% and the back's are closer to 80% if that makes any difference. Fluid is topped up, no leaks in the system that I can find.

And a completely unrelated break issue, My E-break lever does not stay down, it releases as soon as you push it in. I'm thinking some sort of release clamp/mechanism failure.

Sounds like the rears weren't assembled with the proper adjustment. I'd take it somewhere and have them inspect and adjust them.
Also, it's Brakes and braking, not Break's and breaking.

Haha. Stupid english.
Anyhow, that sound's definately like it could be the cause. I will definately get that checked out, its annoying not have 100% of my brakes on the first pump, as well as not being safe.
