You may have a huge air pocket in the lines and hydraulics don't press well
Because it is the brakes AND it came on suddenly. GET THE WHOLE SYSTEM CHECKED NOW! Have you checked the condition of the brake pads? Heavily worn pads can affect how far the pedal travels before the brakes bite. Is the pedal spongy? There may also be an air bubble in the system so get a good mechanic to check and bleed the brake lines. If these are OK your looking at getting master cylinders and brake servos checked or replaced.

Did you put fresh fluid in the master cylinder? I really think you still have air in the lines. To bleed manually, start with the bleeder the greatest distance from the master cylinder, car running, helper pushing down about half way on brake pedal and releasing 3 times, on 3rd time, holding pedal down to half way depressed point while you open the bleeder valve. Repeat until you are sure all air has been flushed out. Check master cyl reservoir level often, because if it gets low and you **** air into the system, you have to start all over again. Go to wheel next greatest distance from master cyl, repeat above, working your way to wheel closest to master cyl last.
