What Causes a Spongy Brake Pedal in Sedans?
1 Answers
Brake pedal feels spongy and only works when fully depressed mainly due to the following reasons: 1. Severely worn brake pads: When brake pads are excessively worn, the gap between the pads and brake discs increases, requiring drivers to press the pedal deeper to achieve deceleration. This issue can be resolved by replacing the brake pads. 2. Insufficient brake fluid leading to longer brake travel: When there's insufficient brake fluid or excessive air in the brake lines, the brakes become spongy. The solution is to add brake fluid and bleed the air from the brake lines.
