Assuming you're in an air brake equipped vehicle, it could be a number of reasons. Loose air line fittings, ruptured air lines, or bad gaskets in one or more brake chambers would be the primary culprits.

If they're spring brakes, you won't be able to get them to release. The brake chambers won't actuate when you push on the treadle valve (brake pedal), the brake control valve won't remain pressed in.


When you push your brake petal on your 95jeep grand Cherokee it sounds like air and the petal is soft?

You need to inspect the brake pads/shoes and have the brake system bled. The soft pedal is air in the brake system. The fact that you are hearing air makes me suspect you may have a defective brake booster. Have the power brake booster vacuum diaphragm inspected.


What does air in brake line do to the brakes?

The air in an air brake system is the "fluid" to activate the brake, much like brake fluid activates the brakes in your car. One difference is that you are not pushing air down the lines when you step on the brake pedal, instead you are releasing a metered amount of air, or "application pressure" from the reservoir, through the treadle valve (brake pedal/valve) to the brake chambers, to apply the brakes. Air also releases the parking brake, as the parking brake is always in the on mode, until you push a valve on the dashboard, sending compressed air to the parking brake chambers, releasing them. The parking brakes are spring powered, and the air over rides these springs.
