The brakes are probably not responding to pushing pedal due to calipers are stuck due to the caliper pistons being rusted and can't move. They will get stuck out and more stuck in as you push pedal. This is quite common on these units due to them not being driven enough. You probably need a complete brake job around $800. That's because when the calipers hold pads out they stick and drag on the rotors and cause burn spots that can't be milled out. The tag axle, if it has one, is drum brakes that may be fine, just have them checked for wear and lube. The system is set up so the tag brakes work first then the rest which are ABS and disc brakes. If the rear disc brake rotors need replacement they probably are attached to the axle shaft as one unit each side of the transaxle. If they can be turned and resurfaced, it's best as they are pricy to replace. They have to be turned on the vehicle by a special turning unit. Note : This information is based on my 1997 P32 older models may be different.
