Air in the brake system. Bleed the brakes again.
There was no Caprice in 2004...
You probably have air in the brake hydraulic line. Bleed the air out of the brake lines.
Usually when a brake pedal feels more stiff than usual, there is a vacuum leak. The brake lines probably should be bled.
Try bleeding your brakes. If there is air in the system it can give a spongy feeling to your brake pedal and require you to pump your brakes and/or put your brake pedal to the floor.
Gas is compressible, which means it can compress under pressure and cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce the braking efficiency. Liquids like brake fluid are used in brake systems because they are incompressible, ensuring a consistent and reliable transfer of force from the brake pedal to the brakes.
depending where the leak is, yes! to get the air out of the lines and not have a spongy pedal
The brake fluid reservoir is usually located in the engine compartment next to the firewall close to the steering column. Remove the cover from the reservoir and fill to the proper level with your vehicle's recommended fluid type. If the brake pedal feels spongy or goes all the way down to the floorboard, you may need to bleed the brake lines.
Could be low on fluid, or your shoes are worn. See a mechanic
