More than likely, there is air in the brake line or a leak in the line. Go to a mechanic and have the brakes "bled". He'll know what you are talking about. It's fairly inexpensive to do. Bad brakes, bad master cylinder, broken brake line, low brake fluid.

Brake Pedal Goes to the Floor After BleedingAlthough there could be more than one reason, I suspect that even though you may have bled the brake system, AND the brake fluid reservoir is full, your brake bleeding was not successful, and you STILL HAVE AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES, or in the wheel brake slave cylinders.
