Exclamation brakeing system

need feed back on others that have had issues with the brakes. In our case, it started as, at low speeds, apply brakes and nothing happened until you applied greater force. Now the brake light it on and the peddle drifts to floor while appling brakes. It still stops but the peddle will bttom out. I know its the master cyclinder, and if you pump the brakes the peddle gets harder and the free travel decreses. 75000 miles on it and we live in the country, so our miles are more highway. Should be noted when inspecting for leaks pad wear, the drivers side shows signs of faulty caliper movement, cleaned mounts and pins, replaced pads, but that hasent helped the peddle.

What advice are you looking for exactly? Yes your brakes have a serious problem. You haven't been able to figure it out and no one is going to be able to reliably diagnose the problem over the internet, so please take it into a repair shop before someone gets killed.

Happy to help.
