Have you changed your brake fluid lately or work on your brake system? Did you bleed your brakes?

Gotta bleed your brakes and more likely flush the system if it's dirty....

If your brake pedal is dropping to the floor your master cylinder could be going bad.

^^^Not necessarily, but can be one of the reasons, or the brake booster hoses are busted or have leaks.
