My wife purchased a new vehicle and took possession of our 2006 honda odyssey van. I immediately noted a very soft brake pedal. When pressure is applied, the pedal goes all the way to the floorboard while stopped at a stop sign or traffic light. The vehicle has not rolled forward while the brake was set but I feel it may if it sat long enough with the brake pedal depressed. No repair has been attempted as I'm not certain of the cause. Brake fluid is not low so I assume air has somehow gotten into the brake lines.
