Experienced loss of brake pressure while driving. Fluid reservoir seems to be full. What would be the most likely causes?

The most likely cause of this is air in the lines or a faulty master cylinder. Here are guides that help with this issue:

We don't have a manual on this vehicle but these guides will get us in the general area.

once we find where the issue is we need to bleed the rest of the brakes. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Also, here are some guides that will help if the brakes need to be replaced as well:
