No warning what so ever.
1- No leaks.
2- Brake fluid/reservoir full.
3- Never grinding or squeeking of brake pads.
4- No warning lights on dash came on.
5- All new tires.

I just went out to my van yesterday morning and pressed on the brake pedal to put in into drive and the pedal went to the floor. I still have brakes to stop but it seems dangerous. I have had a few random home type mechanics take a peek at it and they have said it is either the master cylinder or a wheel cylinder.

With no leaks,

Master cylinder reservoir full.

My money's on the failing master cylinder.

Are you doing to replace it yourself?

No. I have no idea on how I would do that. I am having a certified mechanic look at it on Friday and he is going to give me a estimate as well.

Definitely, abstain from driving it all you can until then. Nothing like no brakes when you really need them. Creeping along is better than going fast.

Good luck!

Never hurts to ask (I do all of the time, anywhere, with some luck!) I request a Military discount/senior discount/discount because I am a return customer/discount because it is just me!

Keep us posted on the situation.

Many folks read these threads in hopes they can find a fix for their vehicle.
