Both at the same time-Have the ABS unit and the brake master cylinder checked out-could also be contaminated fluid

Crack a bleeder to see if it is a hydraulic problem, if the brakes back off there will be a hydraulic pressure retention problem, if not it will be a mechanical issue with both calipers.
