Brake pedal goes down very far

Brake pedal goes down almost to the floor 10 pump. It up works fine. I’m just wondering if this is normal which I don’t think it is and how to fix it.

More than likely a bad "brake master cylinder" or brake line leak or wheel cylinder seal gone bad. Looking around at everything should reveal where the leak is, if there is a leak. Otherwise I'd say the master cylinder is the culprit.

Common issue with the Crossfire. Flush and bleed with new fluid. Usually bleeding the rears will resolve your issue. Owned 2 Crossfires, same issue, same solution.

How about a follow-up! Did you find and repair the problem?
