INTERMITTANTLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WHILE BRAKING, EXTENDING STOPPPING DISTANCE. GOODYEAR AND MONROE MUFFLERS/ BRAKES UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE, GM DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. I AM RETURNING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ABS AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED (COST OF ABOUT $1500.00) BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, IT JUST IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAY.
