Suddenly the brakes got weaker
#7
Two options: If your pedal sinks with maintained pressure you've got a leak in the circuit. If the effectiveness of the brakes varies and feels spongy then it needs a new master cylinder.

Either way i'd strongly advise against driving it until you fix it, as either of those problems are likely to become a lot worse in a very short space of time - i speak from experience when i say the brake pedal dropping to the floor with no effect on the motorway exit sliproad sucks balls.
