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) because I don't know what else to do. Hopefully, this will fix the problem, it just is not safe to drive this way.

After appyling the brakes and coming to a complete stop the pedal will travel to the floor, cause unknown. The vehicle has been in for service on three occasions, but dealer cannot find out why this occurs. After applying brakes, there was clunk noise coming from engine compartment and the brake pedal goes down to the floor due to a shorting in right front ABS sensor wiring harness.
