The brakes in my car usually work as they should. As the driver depresses the brake pedal the pedal compresses the piston in the brake cylinder. One of the more common causes for the brake pedal going to the floor is a loss of brake fluid. If you step on the brake pedal and it has little to no pressure and goes all the way to the floor especially if you re getting no braking.

You should be able to see brake fluid underneath the car if there s a leak in the system. Check your brake fluid. Also if a leak occurs in the system it will be unable to build pressure due to the lack of fluid causing the brake peddle to travel to the floor which can be followed by the brake system. A brake pedal that feels mushy spongy or that slowly sinks to the floor when depressed can be best described as brake pedal sink.

Brake fluid is a very important factor in increasing or sustaining a high brake power.
