Default No brakes after hitting a bump

Three days ago I hit a pothole and hit my brakes. Every since my pedal is going all the way to the floor. I can’t be behind any vehicle really in case I need to stop. Ideas about what’s going on?

Do you have any brake fluid left? I suppose if the hole was huge it could of damaged a brake line and the fluid ran out?

Did I read that correctly..... damage to brake system , still driving but making allowances so he can stop without hitting others on the road?

I see the state of residency, is there a joke there somewhere? LOL.

I had very similar problem. I hit a drop of on a milling and paving road and lost half the level on my brake pedal. If I let off the pedal and push again it feels normal. Going to check it out this morning. I will check for codes first and then put it on some ramps.

Default Large bump and poor brakes

I finally got ours repaired. I put in a new Master Cylinder but I don't really know if it was bad. Today I got an ANCEL OBDII tester on it and used the Autobleed function for the ABS. Works like new again. That was somehow effected by the large bump.
