So, pretty sure I know the answer but here to see if I can get a consensus.

Brake pedal going to the floor slowly, it will stop the vehicle, eventually. Pads are fine, plenty of meat on them. Fluid is fine, tad low but no leaks found at any of the wheels. Rotors are fine. That only leaves 1 thing right?

 

Are the brakes mushy? Do you have to pump the brakes to make them work normally? Even if you aren't losing fluid it sounds like something wrong with the master cylinder

 

yes you have to bleed them.

 

I don't know if I'd call em mushy, they grab but then the pedal just keeps going then they grab again at the bottom.

After I do what I think I need to do then yes I'm aware.

@KyleK?

 

You can probably find a video on YouTube that tells you what the problem is and how to fix it

 

well it could be air even if you dont see fluid. if its not that then the piston could be stuck. but odds are its some power assisted thing you have to bring to the dealer so they can charge you out the ass. good luck.

 

What kind of vehicle is it? What year and model?

 

2012 Mazda CX9

 

Where would the air have come from? There is no break in the line that I can tell.

And it's not going to the dealer unless it's absolutely required. I've already priced the part that I think it is. $80 question is can I change it out. I know I can, issue will be getting to it. If I have to take apart half the car to get a wrench on it then it's going somewhere else.
