Check your brake fluid level, if its low it can cause this problem. if that's not the case, take it to a mechanic asap.

Why does your 93 jaguar xjs brake pedal sometimes goes straight to the floor?
it's very possible that its the anti lock brake booster. Its that round black ball with yellow lettering on the right hand side of your engine compartment. When that starts failing your brake pedal can go down to the floor or even kick back at you sometimes. The part is about $200.00, but you need a specialist to replace it because its under high presure.

There is air or water in the brake lines. Flush and bleed the system.
Can the brake booster cause your brake pedal to go to the floor?
No, a busted brake booster will not cause the brake pedal to go to the floor. It will however cause the brake pedal to be extremely hard to push. A defective master cylinder will cause what you describe. Replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. It can because it happened to me. The booster lost vaccum and the pedal went to the floor. Sorry, you are wrong. The only reason the pedal went to the floor was because the master cylinder failed. The brake booster only boosts the pressure on the master cylinder and allows you to not have to push so hard on the brake pedal. Cars of yesteryear did not even have a brake booster and they stopped just fine albeit you had to push the pedal allot harder than with power brakes. A failing brake booster will not cause your pedal to go to the floor although it might cause it to go lower than normal before the brakes apply. As long as the master cylinder is good you will still have brakes, but you will have to really push hard and might even have to pump them up in order for them to stop the car.
