99' Hyndai Sonata (V-6) brake problem. My brakes

99' Hyndai Sonata (V-6) brake problem. My brakes are acting like they're going out. No dash warning light is on, fluid is good , pads are ok. When i press the brake pedal, the pedal goes farther down and now and the brakes are not strong. also, when moving and applying brakes, the whole car pulls to the left and is hard to control , and the car (body) seems to tilt to the left as well , and feels like the front end is pulling to the left before the rest of the car follows. It feels like i've lost the ''Power'' in the power brakes. What can this be? I've read a little bit online and a bad master cylinder kinda makes some sense. Could THAT be it? What do i do? Thanks in advance.

- I'll check the calipers, but though i'm no mechanic by any means, i do manage to have success with "light" stuff , and my experience with brakes has me wondering.. - Let's say caliper(s) WERE stuck. If any were stuck "open" would that NOT create more pressure at the pedal? As opposed to less as i'm feeling? And if stuck "closed" (pushed in) , would'nt that be essentially creating braking or dragging at the offending wheel by pads squeezing a rotor? ..which i don't seem to have either.

it sound very probable. it sound like a stuck caliper and bad hydraulics. first things first. pull the wheels and inspect the calipers for anything foreign in them. next if you are mechanically inclined you can remove the caliper and check its slide pins for proper movement. if all is good replace master cylinder with a quality part and get a friend to help you bleed the system by starting at the r/r wheel and opening all bleeder screws until a steady drip is seen. close all screws.get your friend in the car and have him hold the pedal down while you open the bleeders. do this for all( starting at r/r, l/r, r/f, l/f)until a steady stream is seen. it should gbet better with each wheel you get to. good luck.
