What You Should Do
Do not drive the vehicle.
Check brake fluid level and condition.
Inspect for visible leaks around all wheels and under the master cylinder.
If fluid is low, top off with DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid and bleed the brakes to remove air.
If the pedal remains soft, have the master cylinder and brake system professionally diagnosed.
