Ok here is the issue... When I'm drving my car and I step on the brakes the pedal goes to the floor and it slows the car down... I have to pump the brakes to get the car to stop... Also when I step on the brakes the steering wheel shakes like crazy... What is the issue?????????

First off change you avatar before you loose it.

Going to the floor sounds like you might have air in the line. The shaking sounds like warperd rotors

I would suggest starting with new pads new rotos (unless you can get them turned) and a full bleeding of the brakes.

If they still sink to the floor the master cyclinder might be bad.

thanks for the info.... I have had the avatar since day one but no big deal....could there be a hole in one of the lines and not leak fluid???

Try to bleed your brakes and get your rotors turned. Make sure your brake MC is working?

POE

it is your Master Cylinder. the Valving inside it is going bad, i bet your car has high miles on it, i had to replace mine , it did the same thing, would go down to the floor when you would put on the breaks.
I installed new pads, had new rotors and bleed the brakes, and still had the problem.
Then got a BRAND NEW master cylinder, WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
your welcome.

Least your brakes didn't seize like mine and cause you to have to spend 600 dollars in front end parts.

Civicracer17 - Yes, as mentioned already you have an MC going bad.

As far as the shaking steering wheel goes, it is most likely your rotors, but "warped rotors" is a MYTH. This myth has been passed down for years, let it die.

A less likely issue could be your wheel bearings. Some DA owners have had shaking problems related to the wheel bearing since we tend to have a lot more miles than other Tegs.
