What does it mean when the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor?
One of the main reasons why your brake pedal may become soft is because you have air in your brake lines. Air does not provide any force that helps your brakes stop. As such, when air is in your brake lines, your brake pedal can be pushed all the way down to the ground due to the lack of force.
Why does my brake pedal have no resistance?
When brake fluid leaks out of holes in the lines, the fluid levels become too low to apply adequate force to the brake pads. This makes the brake pedal feel soft underfoot with little to no resistance. If you do have a leak in your brake lines, it’s important to have them repaired or replaced immediately.
