The breaks are constantly seizing up and we have to bleed the breaks every couple of days in order to drive it. The vehicles breaks seize up and stick resulting in break pads getting worn out very fast, very strong vibrations and loud noise. The break pedal becomes very spongey. I was informed that the previous owner emptied all of the brake fluid and put in incorrect fluid. I took it to a garage and was told that the master cylinder has a seal leak and its sucking air into the brake line. TLDR : Brakes stick, violent vibrations, loud noise (not from worn out pads). Mechanic said master cylinder is sucking air into the brake line. Previous owner possibly put in wrong brake fluid, possibly could've been the problem? Anybody able to properly diagnose what's wrong with the vehicle? Thanks!!
