Default Braking problem?

Hey, i drive a 4th gen 1990 accord
in teh winter every once in a while when i pushed on the brake to stop the brake would just continuie to move in until it reached thefloor
on warm sunny summer daysit happens every time i try to brake
it just moves straight down into the floor, yes it does stop but i have to really push down be4 it hits the floor so i can stop on time or i have to realease and push the brake again...any ideas on whats wrong and what i should do 2 fix it?

First, bleed the brakes - it might be air in the lines. If the brake fluid hasn't been changed regularly, maybe the inside of your master cylinder and/or calipers has corroded. Then you have to figure out which & replace it. Does fluid leak anywhere? Does the reservoir stay full?

check the fluid level, then bleed your brakes, to get any air out of the lines.......
