Brakes failed at a three way stop. They went to the floor with no stop. I bled the system roadside and it were good for three stops and then they went out again. Got the vehicle home. Looking in to what it may be. I removed the master cylinder. And it does not seem to have any problems.

Good afternoon.

It sounds like the master cylinder has failed. It may be leaking internally and not allowing pressure to hold a brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
