When your brake pedal feels spongy or sinks too far before gripping, it's a clear sign of trouble. Air in the hydraulic lines or low fluid level are common culprits that compromise stopping power. A soft pedal can escalate quickly, especially in traffic. Getting the system bled or checked for leaks restores that firm, responsive feel you need for safe braking.
