But seriously.....
Did you check the brake fluid reservoir? Try bleeding the entire system. The factory specified way to bleed our brakes is starting with the Rear (Primary) port on the ABS unit (closest to the firewall), then the Front (Secondary) port. After that it is: Front Passenger wheel, Rear Driver wheel, Front Driver wheel, Rear Passenger wheel.

 Bleeding is good. Don't recycle the fluid you get from the bleed tho. Gotta check the Resevoir after the bleed to make sure it's not all gone. Really low would do it too, because the rubber membrane is now creating a vacuum instead of a push.
