I checked the master cylinder the brake lines and all

four calipers

So there are no external leaks and it sinks to the floor? The brake master cylinder is leaking internally. 

There are two separate circuits when you have a properly functioning brake maste cylinder. When it springs an internal leak, instead of two separate circuits, sometimes it becomes one giant circuit, which adds air into the system. Air is compressible, so the brakes sink.

What work if any was done to the brake system prior to this happening and what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

If there are no external leaks you may have an internal master cylinder leak, or a rubber brake line may be "ballooning" under pressure.

What if that is not the problem

Check the vehicle first. If there's no "ballooning", something else is wrong. We can provide you with more information after you've ruled out ballooning.

So i need to check the rubber brake lines


That would be a good place to start. I wouldn't expect it in a late-model vehicle but you'd want to eliminate that possibility.


Ok thanks but what if its not that


Then you have more troubleshooting to do.
