The brake pedal hits the floor and stops me eventual. There are no warning lights lit on the dash. When I apply the brake hard the car twists at the front end like only one caliper is working. The brake fluid is full and no sign of a obvious leak. I have been advised this may be down to the ABS pump but the people that advised me said that a lot of the dash lights came on to warn them there was an issue. If I pump the brake it gets better for a split second until I take my foot completely off the brake. When I apply pressure to the brake again the problem remains.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If there are no leaks, the master cylinder is most likely bad. Take a look through this link. It discusses causes of the pedal to go to the floor.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/brake-pedal-goes-to-the-floor

The first portion of the link discusses fluid loss, but toward the bottom, it describes more in detail what I mentioned. I feel that is the most likely cause.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
