Ok, driving home and was going to slow down to turn... brake pedal goes to floor! The jeep did slow down, but I was practically standing on the pedal.

I get out and the rear rotors are scorching hot, front ones are cool to the touch...

What can be wrong? I check the fluid, topped it off just in case.... so...???

Don't drive it.

the rears are hot because they were trying to stop you.

fronts are cool because they aren't working.

probably a leak on the front end somewhere - find it - fix it

adding fluid is a bandaid that will last long enough for you to go fast and crash hard......

Where should I begin looking for a leak? Where the lines go to the calipers or what?

One of my front brake lines broke right where it meets at the caliper. Caused me to have the same problems as you have. Replaced both brake lines. Find out where leak is. I bet you have a bad brake line. Do not drive the Jeep right now. Not a good idea to do so.

Found the leak, what part do I need to replace it? Is it the Centric front brake line?

Ok, got the new brake hose put on. Question, do I need to bleed the brakes now? I bled the one I was working on, but that was it.
