I replaced brake pads 3 months ago now no brakes?
I just got the brake pads replaced three months ago but now i have to press the brake to the floor before the car will stop. I checked the break fluid and its full. I have an audi a4 and no warning lights are on. I just drove to work in the morning and it was fine, but as soon as i got in the car after work is when the problem occured.

Check the master cylinder. It's probably bad. I would expect the barke warning light to light up. Could the brake warning light be bad itself? Set your parking brake to see if it lights up. Did you notice any brake fluid on the ground? You could still have a full master cyclinder and a small leak in the brake line. Look at the back side of your tires to see if there is evidence of leaking fluid. It takes just a small leak to lose braking effectiveness.
It sounds like a faulty caliper.
