Is the brake fluid in the master cylinder low? If so, check for leaks around the master cylinder, front calipers, and rear wheel cylinder. Replace the leaking component and then thoroughly bleed the brakes.

If no leak is found, the master cylinder may be bad. Replace and bleed system.

If you can't find a leak then I should have suggested that you first try bleeding the system of air. If this doesn't fix the problem, then replace the master cylinder and rebleed.
