For about two weeks now i have had the grinding noise coming from my front left tire it.seems but definitly from the front, i have been planning on replacing the pads and rodors if neccessary today when i got paid but last night out of nowhere pulling into my house parking spot my brake pedal went straight to the floor and i had no brakes, the only way i stopped was the energency break. Any reason for this and why it escalated within 2 weeks. Also about 2 or 3 months back i was having problems keeping break fluid in the car as it would drain or be used up and i would always have to put some in. About a month and a half ago i put a weird different brand of fluid in it break fluid of course from the store i work at and since then i have not had to put any in period and that seems a little odd that its not going down any at all

Without pulling wheel and looking would say grinding was very worn pad metal to rotor and finally wearing pad completely and caliper piston popped out and no brakes
