I was driving the car and came home and parked it later I went to put it in the shop and my pedal went to the floor. I checked the fluid and the back are front brake part was empty. I have looked every where and there is not any leaks any where. Where could the fluid have went? I checked the master inside and out and all the wheel cylinders. Ronnie

Ronnie Look on the firewall INSIDE the car , brake fluid doesn't mysteriously evaporate. You either have a HUGE leak which you would see under the car or it's under your carpet .

I'll go with this one...You had air in the lines.....the air bled upwards and the fluid drained down to fill the void of the air-pockets. Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

I have a difficult time believing you wouldn't miss the lack of braking power with that much air in the lines. But as was said above, it didn't evaporate.

I have no ideal what happened because there isn't any leaks any where. I'll just drive it some and see what happens. I've had more little stuff happen on this car than any of my cars before. Ronnie

If not I would start there, then bleed the rest of the system. If you're not finding any fluid then you have a system full of air.

I live in a very rural area so it won't be too bad. I have never had 1 do any thing like this before. I have done a lot of brakes before and have never had any thing like this happen. I could understand if there was a leak some where but there isn't. Ronnie

It seems if you had a leak serious enough to drain the fluid you could feel the pedal sinking with moderate pressure.

I could feel the peddle changing a little each day not much but some. I'm hoping it just had some air in the system and it worked it's way out. Ronnie

Ronnie Does your car have the torsion bar crossmember DELETE option ?
