I have had the system checked but

There are no fluid leaks in the system? It sounds like the master cylinder might be by-passing internally. When the seal goes it will by-pass the pressure internally instead of greating pressure in the brake lines. Pedal should only travel a little bit (1 or 2 inches ) before the car begins to stop. If the rod wasnt removed, adjusting it probably wont help
