Problem with brake system?
AT random times when I brake, as im pushing the pedal down it stops short and feels like something is blocking it and the brakes barely grab. I have a feeling it could be due to the calipers but I'm not sure what is causing the brake pedal not to fully go down. When this happens I have to pump and pump the brakes then it will finally go back to normal. ANy idea what the problem is?

sounds as if there may be a burr on the piston that pushes into the master cylinder or on the cylinder itself
Sounds like you might want to get it checked out. Not being able to brake properly is a safety issue. Your brake master cylinder may be low on brake fluid, or you may have a problem with the brake calipers, but it's hard to tell without getting someone to take a look at them.
It's best to get it fixed so you don't end up hitting something when you can't stop in time.
There are SO many brake shops in most areas that will give you a free brake inspection. TRY going to one. From your description, it sound like you do have a sticking brake caliper piston. All cars require the changing of brake fluid every 2-3 years, otherwise the fluid turns acidic and begins to eat away rubber brake components and seals, or rusting up of the metal parts. GOOD LUCK!!
