Typically if they are still going to the floor, it means there is still air in the brake lines and they need to be bleed again. I hope you have someone helping your bleed the brakes because it's difficult to bleed them properly by yourself.

If you only did the front brakes, make sure you are bleeding the right (passenger side) first before bleeding the driver side. Order is important!

Also depending on how dirty your brake fluid is, when bleeding it's been known to happen that the dirt and grime in the brake fluid damage the master cylinder and cause the master cylinder to stop working properly. That's why you should use a syringe to remove as much dirty brake fluid from the resevoir and pour fresh brake fluid into the resevoir before bleeding. However, most of the time, if the brakes are still going to the floor, it just means you still have air in the lines.

If you are trying to bleed them by yourself, you need to be sure to get the proper tools! Brakes are not something to play around with, it could mean your life or someone elses!

What is the procedure steps you are using to bleed your brakes? If you give me a step by step on what you are doing, I might be able to help you spot what you are doing wrong.

you need to check to see if you are losing any fluid from your hoses or the bleeder valve if so then change the faulty part if not you may be having a problem with your break booster (master cylinder)
