im having some weird braking problems. if i press my brake pedal down slowly it wont have any pressure and will go all the way to the floor. if i press it kinda fast they will work great, and if i begin by pressing it down slowly then push it hard when i get it down quite a ways they will make pressure and work. what could it be? im thinkin the master cylinder? its not losing any fluid.


plz help guys its unsafe to drive

If you aren't loosing fluid, I would say the master cylinder. You could try to bleed the brakes. Is there any air bubbles in the master cylinder when you are pressing the brakes?
