Answer 1

I agre with Nomad on this one once you bleed the system and brakes are working according to you fine air cannot go back in the system. Some thing was not Installed propperly or wasn't Torqued propperly which caused the fluid to leak slowly and thats why it was fine for a short while.Needless to say but don't drive this vehecle its a safty isue.  

Answer 2

you have a leak some wheare in the system,take it back to the garage and have it inspected and fix asap,good luck

Answer 3

sounds like they didnt bleed the brakes that well and left some air in the lines.

Answer 4

I bet you're low on fluid because the clown who did the work didn't get something tight, and you've been pumping fluid on the the ground.

Answer 5

sounds like whoever installed the new brake components etc,did NOT bleed the system of air.air will create a bubble in the system and when you hit the pedal,it will lose ALL pressure.Or,they didnt tighten the new hoses properly and again,air has entered the system,either way,the system needs to be bled FULLY.Or they bled it and didnt replenish the fluid,have them tow your car back and repair it.
