The brake pedal in your vehicle can identify serious brake issues if you know what you should be looking for. Here are a few things to look for with a weak brake pedal.

The soft brake pedal might be an indication that fluid is leaking from the master cylinder or the brake lines. This is a problem because the car could fail to stop if not addressed in time. Bring the car in to have the technician look to see if a leak does exist.

Another issue with a soft brake pedal is that air may be trapped inside the lines. The air reduces the ability of the car to stop. To fix this issue, a mechanic has to bleed the brakes and get all the air out so the car can stop.

If your brake pedal feels spongy, get the vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of Santa Fe so we can identify the source of the concern.
