Exclamation soft brakes

Does anybody have any ideas on why my brakes are soft? I checked my brake fluid and it is full.

There are many reasons that this might happen, all of them lack of maintenance. Try bleeding the system, which will restore normal pressure about 95% of the time.

Have you even inspected anything else besides checking the fluid level? Check the brakes at each wheel. Then bleed as suggested.
