    Could be the M/C and you could have a front brake line that has ruptured internally .

    Do you mean a lot of pressure in the line itself , or feels like pressure on the pedal ?
    Like it has pumped itself up to the top , and won't push down .

        Sounds like a master cylinder, Mine went out about 4 months ago and the pedal started acting like it wasn't pushing pressure through the lines at all. It would hardly brake. Can you still brake?

          Is the front brake likes mushy, weak spots , or bulges in them ?

          I have not seen it on a Festiva lately , but I have seen the hose rupture internally and acts like a check valve , and will hold pressure on the line to the caliper , and not release it , keeping pressure to the caliper .
          I am still not counting out the M/C , but the lines can go bad too.
