I fired up my Explorer the other day and drove it around after sitting outside since April. When I parked it the brakes worked like normal. Now when I press the pedal it feels soft and goes to the floor easily. I can still stop but its not safe. Any explanation as to what happened over the summer?
 
The rotors were rusty like any other car that has sat outside in the elements. There are no leaks that I could see.

I plan on doing a flush so ill see if that fixes the problem. I was just curious as to how that could happen.
