Default not wanting to stop

OK so this morning I leave for work. When getting off the interstate I had no brakes at all unlessi pumped the pedal a few times. Could it be my brake booster gone out or possibly rebleed the system. I'm not a brake guy

How did the pedal feel? Too hard, too soft? How was before?

My guess is the Master Cylinder is dead. They are cheep and easy to replace, but you do have bleed it before you install it and bleed all lines after.

look for leaks at each wheel then bleed them see what that gets you. most likely master but could be a rear wheel brake cylinder or one of the front calipars leaking ooorrr one of the front brake lines leaking, check them all??????????
