Does your foot pedal brake do anything? The manual says it is an auxilary brake, but mine does absolutely NOTHING when applied! I can push it all the way down and manually roll the quad.
What is up with that?

Like I was saying, It does Very little...

Mine is the same, I dont even dother with it being that it is supposed to be an emergency brake. You can buy a kit that splits the hand brake to the front tires and the foot to the rear. I was thinking about doing that to give me better braking control being that the current set up controls both front and rear.

I bled the brakes and still NOTHING. Does anyone else have this problem? I want to bring it back to the place I got it from, but if it is something easy I want to do it myself.

Mine dont work to good but sometimes good enough to get into a power slide.

I have a 2002 Trailblazer and the back brake does not work either and the dealer told me if the brakes were to fail then it would work.I hope I never have to find out

Mine don't.... OH, it's a Blaster.

Is it possible the caliper is siezed? Are you lifting up on the brake arm before tightening the bleeder screw? Does the piston move at all?
