Master brake cylinder is failing. While driving brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. Consumer has to pump brakes several times, and then pedal will return to normal.

When stopping at a light brake pedal would give out and hit the floor. Took vehicle to dealer, and they replaced ABS module. Currently, brakes get hard at a stop. Took vehicle back to dealer, and they replaced master cylinder.

I was traveling down the road and when I hit the brakes the vehicle did not respond. I took it to meineke for an ispection and they reported a failure in the master cylinder. When I brought it to the dealer, they claimed the brake pedal should be able to touch the floor and then proceeded with no response. I tried to contact Isuzu customer relations and they would not talk to me.
