Default 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.

Not sure if this got posted brake pedal goes all the way down and pump it up works fine. Brake level fluid is correct. Just wondering what I need to do 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?
