Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: Why This Needs a Specialist, Not a DIY Fix
A spongy brake pedal is one of the clearer "see a professional now" signs on this list.
The symptom
The brake pedal sinks further toward the floor than it should.
What's causing it
Usually air in the brake fluid, a fluid leak, or a master cylinder fault.
What to do
Check the fluid level first. Bleeding the system and finding the leak isn't a DIY job — see a specialist immediately, this is safety-critical.
