Despite repeated flushes with ATE fluid (by the dealer), I can't get a hard brake pedal.

Its squishy. If I pump it, it gets hard, but if I don't relieve the pressure at the pedal, it slowly squishes down and returns to its softness.

Is this a TADS deal? Or do I need to do a flush myself and do it a certain way?

i'd really appreciate some help here. a soft squishy brake pedal on a car that isn't good for anything except direct, immediate driving responses is quite egregious, IMO.

Any advice would be very welcome. I did buy a pressure bleed kit from CDOC but haven't opened it yet.

Thanks!
