When stopped the brake pedal slowly goes to the floorboards. Sometimes I have to repeatedly pump the brake pedal while at a stop light to prevent running into the car in front of me. Took it to a dealership and they drove the car but couldn't fine any problems. The master cylinder leak down is getting progressively worse with time. I believe that I am qualified to write about this as I was, when younger, a top mechanic for Porsche and Volkswagen.
