Description of the problem	My brakes will go to the floor every once in a while, sometime the car is not running and i just press the pedal to start the car, other time the car is moving all i have to do to correct this problem is pump the brake 1 time and everything is fine again. I have taken the car to the dealer twice for this problem and the last time this is the answer i got.(kia techline states that it is normal for the brake petal to travel to the floor at times. Techline states that as long as the vehicle will hold still and will stop when the brakes are applied, this is normal. Pressure on the brake system seems good. I have call kia customer service and i am waiting for a reply. I believe that this is a safety problem.
