Why is my brake pedal "soft"?

Asked by Guru9T7X93 Apr 01, 2021 at 07:47 PM about the 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I recently had new brake lines installed on my 2000 Camaro, and the brake pedalis now very soft and goes most of the way to the floor before the brakes stop.  I brought it back to the shop and they bled the system to remove any air that might have been in the lines.  To me the brakes still seem soft, but the shop says everything is fine.  Any ideas on why the brake pedal travels so far now?
