Brakes

My car has done this before, but very few and far between. Well today, it has done it like everytime I come to a stop. The problem: When I'm coming to a stop, the brakes want to go all the way to the floor and the car doesn't want to stop. Then, the low trac light comes on. I checked the fluid and it is full and I'm not leaking anywhere on my brake lines. What could this be? Do the brakes need bled? I need to get it fixed because I am going to end up not stopping and getting into a wreck.

if you have bubbles coming out of your brake lines then your master cylinder is bleeding internally.

Other than that the only thing i can think of is u have a bad vacuum leak..
Check for cracks in your brake booster behind the master cylinder. or cracks in the hose.

Would a vacuum leak in the line or booster cause a low trac light? I am going to out this evening and look at some things to try to figure out wtf is going on. Thanks for the help.

I would try bleeding them to see if that helps. If it does, then make sure you don't have a leak.
