Has happened about 10 times in 2 years, press the brake pedal and no braking power at all, feels like pushing brake pedal when car is off, 2nd or 3rd try it usually comes right back but once this weekeen took about 10 pushes before it did *anything* then it was fine again..........scary
In a car ---replace the faulty brake boosted
SOURCE: excessive brake pedal travel and 'soft' brakes
the brakes have to be bleed you wrote that when you start the car the pedal goes to the floor that means the booster is working fine take it back and tell them you want the brakes bleed

Sounds like you might have a caliper that is stuck and is not fully disengaging. If it is in the rear then you may have a bad rear caliper. Twoo things you can try. One is to crawl under the ca and adjust the tension two nuts on the emergency brake line. If that does not resolve the problem then remove the back tire and try to spin the drum or rotor whichever you may have. If it does not spin then try adjusting the e brake cable more if it still does not respond then you need to do a brake rebuild. Also does it pull while it is dragging? If it is then you will need to rebuild the brakes no matter what.

I have the same exact model, same year and the same problem at 52,000 miles. Did changing the brake pads solve the problem? Because I hope thats all it is...

There may be air in the lines. Bleed all your brakes starting at the farthest wheel from the resevoir, and finishing at the closest one. Try the pedal after its bled. If the pedal still feels soft or travels to the floor there may be a pinhole leak that may be spraying on the underbody of the car, or the seals in the master cylinder are gone filling the vacuum booster(if equipped). Air compresses more than oil so if bleeding works that may be the problem.
