My breaks

Hello everyone I have a problem with my brakes. My car is a 2006 2.0 lsj cobalt ss. When I push them hard they will work but if I push them lightly they go right to the floor but come back up to normal position. We have bled the brakes to pure fluid. There's no leaks coming from anywhere dose anyone know what could be the problem. Or has anyone had this same experience

Check all of the soft lines and see if they are collapsed or ballooning under heavy pressure.

If all is good look at the master cylinder

Doubt it is going to be the booster.
More likely the master.
How does your clutch feel though?

good way to test the booter is to pump the brakes when the key is off, the pedal should be come hard then turn the key on and the pedal should go to normal if the booster is working.
