Get a second opinion. It will make you feel better.

The master cylinder is the most likely culprit but no one here can tell you for sure since we can't look at your car and check other things. You have looked to make sure the brake fluid is full haven't you? If it's not then it could be a leak somewhere and not the cylinder itself. Have you checked the linkage from the pedal to the cylinder to make sure nothing has come loose so that when you step on the brake it actually actuates the master cylinder or at least tries to?

ouds like a master or a leak. check the fluid level. If it is low or empty then get under the car and look for the leak. alot of taurus' have been know to rust through the steel lines near the left rear. Ive fixed them before but you need to know what you are doing and have a flaring tool to be able to cut off the new fittings and put on your old ford ones ( they are different threads, Damn Fords)

Most likely the master cylinder.
