    Brakes are fine when driving, but when I come to a complete stop the brakes go all the way to the floor and I start drifting forward. Does not happen all the time. Had to brake shop and they replaced brake pads, rotors, and flushed the lines. Picked up the van and the same thing happened 2 days later. The van is back in the shop waiting for a correct diagnosis. Any advice?

What would you do if the brakes of the car completely fail while driving?
Here Are Some Important Tips To Do If Your Brakes Fails:-
Use Your Lower Gears:
Lower gears act as an engine braking. Engine braking will reduce your speed up to 5-20km/h but no more - your car will continue to creep forward.
Note: Don't put your car into reverse while you are going forwards because you risk causing a huge amount of damage to your gearbox.
Use The Handbrake:
If your car is at high speed do not pull the handbrake. Because it may overheat the engine. Wait until engine braking has dropped if your vehicle's speed is below 20km/h, then pull the handbrake gradually.
Give Clear Warning Lights To Other Drivers:
You can use a horn to warn other drivers. If other drivers know that you are facing difficulties. They will give you the way out of the traffic.
Get Out Of The Way Of Other Traffic:
As I have previously given signals or indicators to other people that you are facing difficulties. Other people will give you the way out to the traffic area. This will good for you and others as well.
Things Not To Do If Your Brakes Fail:
-Don't put your gearbox into neutral or you'll have no engine braking.
-Don't put your gearbox into reverse
-Don't stop the engine - you'll lose your power steering
So the regular auto brake maintenance is very important.

2002 Dodge Dakota club, 3.9 auto. Brake pedal is soft, brakes but no resistance, pedal almost to floor. Changed booster and master cylinder, same issue

You have air trapped in the braking system somewhere. Have you bled the system thoroughly at all four wheels?
Have you changed the front calipers recently. Many years ago, I helped a friend mount new calipers on his vehicle, and we put the new calipers on the wrong side -- right one on the left side and vice versa. In this configuration, the bleeder screw wound up on the lower portion of the caliper instead of at the top, where it needs to be to allow trapped air to come out. Just a thought.

Handbrake light comes on when pumping brakes and pedal becomes hard, the vehicle does not stop. Replaced master cylinder and bled brakes

Hi Anton It would help to know what vehicle you have.
are you sure its the hand brake light and not the brake fluid level light? It may be they are using the same light for both.
I am assuming the brake pedal goes to the floor if you don't pump it? This is really an open question without knowing the history or seeing your vehicle. Things that may create this fault,
brake pedal spongy or goes to floor (1) Leak of fluid in system, air in system, Incorrectly adjusted brakes, Flexible brake hoses porous brake pressure applied hoses expand. Leaky wheel cylinder or calliper. Badly worn brake pads or brake shoes. Leaky brake booster (brake servo) You need to methodically go through each of these possible faults and rule each one out. Good luck

When you apply brakes the vehicle stops then lunges forward

your brake pads could be low and this causing this issue... Replace the pads.. There should be about 1 CM of "meat" on both the inner and outer pad

Brake pedal goes down to floor. Putting brake fluid doesn't solve problem. Vehicle must coast to a complete stop.

First look for obvious leaks under the vehicle, especially the inside area of each wheel... If you see fluid, you have either a blown cylinder seal or a bad line (check the rubber hoses to the front and back brakes too) Repair the offending part and bleed the air out of the system... (remember to clean pads or shoes if they have fluid on them)... If you see no hint of leakage anywhere, then suspect the master cylinder... if you remove the master cylinder, check and make sure that it didn't leak fluid into the brake booster diaphragm (Brake fluid will destroy the booster)... as in any repair when you open the system (lose fluid), you will need to bleed out the air to restore function... hope this helps...;-)

When i apply the brakes on my 2004 vw beetle the pedal goes to the floor and barely stops the vehicle there are no leaks and the brake fluid resevoir is full

If there are no leaks and your pedal goes to the floor, it is most likely your master cylinder. DO NOT CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE!

This is a dangerous condition, and should be repaired immediately.
