2017 Evoque brake issues

Makes a squeak too if I pump it fast. I tried to see if I could bleed the caliper and barely any fluid came out. Do I have a bad caliper? If I do, what should I buy? Rebuild the current one, buy a rebuilt one, buy a brand new one? Should I replace both front calipers?

Thanks in advance

I am new to this forum, so tell me if I am in the wrong thread. I just bought a 2017 Evoque, got 3800 miles so far. Tonight while driving in downtown traffic when all of a sudden when I went to stop, the brake pedal went almost to the floor before I could get it to stop ! If I pump the pedal I have hard over sensitive brakes, but it will stop instantly...very unnerving to say the lest. I see no visible leaks on the ground, also my rear camera went dead about same time. I got home , about 5 miles, but am wondering if this problem is common to these vehicles. Thanks for letting me jump in here, if anyone has info, please let me know.
