Was working perfectly until this am put my filter in with coffee added the correct amt of water pushed the brew I had a flood on the sink Water was coming out of the bottom of the pot not going into the brew basket. What is the problem?

I believe this problem is caused by the grounds and coffee "dust" flying everywhere when grinding. Combine the debris with hot water and steam and then it gets into all of the mechanical/moving parts and gums them up when the machine dries up again. It leaves a tar-like resin behind (yuck). This prevents the latch inside of the basket assembly from fully engaging and voila, the coffee-barf problem begins. I keep one of those cans of compressed air nearby and periodically "blast" out the left and right slides of the filter basket. I also blast out the grounds from the carafe lid/float. I use one of those cans normally used for dusting off electronics and it comes with a straw, which fits into the crevices nicely.This works best when the coffee maker is completely dried out. The grounds get into everything if you don't keep up with it, you will be surprised how much gunk gets into the parts. I found that using this coffee maker requires a bit of preventative maintenance, but it makes the best coffee for me and I wouldn't let these problems prevent me from buying this machine, by the way. Mine is about 5 years old and I use it every day. When I have coffee at other peoples' house, it tastes like ****. I always open the top cover and let everything dry out after brewing. Also, I wash all of the parts after every cycle and completely dry everything out before using again. I haven't had the problem with the door popping open during brewing anymore. Just remember to keep everything DRY!

Try an experiment - brew a test cup, but use only a small amount of grounds in the brew basket (use a paper filter) [or else, put the grounds in the gold tone filter basket]. See if the machine makes coffee (albeit weak coffee). If it does not make coffee, see if the water is draining properly from the brew basket, or if it is leaking over the sides of the brew basket. Also, make sure the lid to the brew basket is completely open and in the correct position.
If you still get water only in the caraffe, replace the brew basket. The part costs about $11.95 with shipping - or even call Cuisinart to see if your 3-year warranty will cover the issue.

Loosen the charcoal filter. You only need to GENTLY place it in. Your problems will all be solved. I just did it 5 minutes ago and i just brewed a 6 cup pot of coffee completely.

Sounds like a gasket or seal gone or a split pipe.
If it's still under warranty - take it back for free service or replacement.
If you do have to attempt DIY, then a clear silicone sealant may save you the price of expensive gaskets.
Be very careful when taking apart - take notes or photos as it will help put it back together !
I usually put related sub-assemblies together with their screws in separate pots.
