Brake pedal is spongy Inspection
Soft, squishy brake pedal that feels like stepping on a sponge? A brake inspection pinpoints trapped air in hydraulic lines, degraded fluid, and failing master cylinders to restore firm, immediate stopping power.When the pedal feels soft or “mushy” underfoot, the primary culprit is often air bubbles trapped inside the brake lines or ABS modulator block. Unlike liquid, gases are highly compressible; when foot pressure is applied, energy is wasted compressing air pockets rather than pushing caliper pistons against the rotors.
