We recently had a front brake job done on our 2001 SL2. Within a few days there was anoticeable vibration in the pedal. The mechanic who did the work said he believed that since we were feeling the vibration in the pedal instead of the steering wheel that the problem was with the rear brakes. He had the drums turned and adjusted the brakes. When my wife picked up the car he told her the brakes would feel "spongy" for a while. It has been 4 weeks the brakes are still spongy and sometimes the pedal goes almost to the floor. I cannot cause the brakes to lock up (No they are not ABS). The mechanic is going to take another look at the brakes because he says they "feel like ther is an ABS problem" even though he knows they are not ABS. Any thoughts other than finding a new mechanic?
