The brake master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that is sent to the brake calipers and wheel cylinders. If the master cylinder fails, it will not be able to generate the necessary pressure to actuate the brakes. This can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or go to the floor when you press it.
2. Brake Booster Failure
The brake booster is a vacuum-operated device that assists the driver in applying force to the brake pedal. If the brake booster fails, it will be more difficult to press the brake pedal, and it may go to the floor when you press it.
3. Air in the Brake Lines
Air in the brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or go to the floor when you press it. Air can enter the brake lines if there is a leak in the system or if the brake fluid is not properly bled.
4. Worn Brake Pads or Shoes
Worn brake pads or shoes can cause the brake pedal to go to the floor when you press it. This is because the worn pads or shoes are not able to generate enough friction to stop the vehicle.
5. Leaking Brake Fluid
Leaking brake fluid can cause the brake pedal to go to the floor when you press it. This is because the fluid loss reduces the amount of pressure that can be generated in the brake system.
