are you sure your pads arent low and its the little metal tab telling you to get new ones?

If your brakes are sticking they won't squeel, they will smoke since the rotor is burning up the pads. Sounds like you got what the other guys said.

no i just replaced the pads/rotors about 4 months ago. i had a similar thread as to why my brake pedal goes to the floor and the brakes dont stop. also, it seems like they fade really bad. this made me think that the brakes were sticking and heating up the pads the whole time making the braking bad. then i listened as i was driving along and the brakes make a squealing noise like they are in need of pads, but how? i've bled the system, rechecked the pads, it is all good.

Pedal going to the floor with no braking is either air in the lines, low fluid, or your brake booster is dead.

ditto... check your fluid level, try to rebleed and if it it still goes to the floor your master cylinder is prolly going buh byes...

it is your brake booster. my friend had the same problem that u just discribed

normally if it is the brake booster it would be harder to push not easier. it isnt low fluid or bleeding problems. It is probably the master cylinder.
