Default a little OT: mushy pedal feel??

Quick question

What would contribute to a real loose pedal feel? The pedal on my new car goes almost all the way to the floor, and the lines or fluid have never been changed. Do you think swapping the fluid only would help resolve the situation, or is it attributed to something else?

Thanks in advance

The fluid will absorb moisture over time, so yes - flush the fluid and see if that helps

Which pedal? Check master cylinder for leaks and fluid levels.

Brake pedal. I checked fluid level, and the lines. The lines seem to be fine, and the fluid is full, but looks a little old

I need to do the same to mine actually...but my brakes have more problems than just that.
