first check to see if brake fluid is low...also could be a leak in the brake line somewhere or your master cylinder could be shot....
you either have a leak or a bad master cylinder. get it to a shop NOW!!!!!
Check the brake fluid level under the hood. It's probably empty. 1. Go to the auto parts store and get some brake fluid. 2. Refill the brake fluid resevoir (It's at the back of the engine on the drivers side). Your brakes will probably still be squishy bacause you have air in the lines. You'll have to bleed the brakes or take it to a shop and have them do it. You also probably have a leak somewhere and will need to get that fixed or this will happen again.
First you need to have scheduled maintenance so you don't have serious problems like your brake pedal going to the floor. Secondly, you are low on brake fluid.
