I just recently about a month ago replaced both my master cylinder and my brake booster. Now my pedal goes all the way to the floor and the brake failure light has came on.... same problem as before. Please help!

If that is the reason you changed the master and booster, then it may have been misdiagnosed. The system needs to be inspected carefully. First determine if it is losing fluid and then from where.

Well those two were a problem about a month or two I got them replaced and my brakes were fine up to last night. I have a really soft pedal. I went for my inspection June 1st and they replaced a brake line. Do you think he didn't replace it right?

I can't tell you that. Someone needs to inspect your entire system. That's not something I can do over the Internet.

Don't get sarcastic. We provide a free service and volunteer our time but we are not magicians and we don't use crystal balls. We have to actually look at cars to find problems. That doesn't happen through a computer screen.
