Its this brake pedal guys, it just feels more loose, as at last two weeks when I noticed it, it was still stopping fine but two days ago on the road, I almost felt my life flash before my eyes 😭, for a moment when I pushed on the brake, the vehicle didn't stop until I tried the third time, since then I think I have been afraid to enter this car, PTSD is reallll, I'll def have to take it to the dealer I guess but I wanted to get other takes, what could the problem be please, I haven't changed fluid yet, and it's a 2023 with under 15k miles.
Any advice is totally appreciated TIA
 
Loose brake pedal with delayed stopping is serious, it could be air in the brake lines, fluid issue, or a master cylinder problem. Don't wait...get it towed and checked ASAP
 
The mileage is way too low to need to replace the fluid, but age wise you're in the ballpark. But, the degradation will be gradual not instant like it's stops well today and it doesn't tommorow, which makes me think it's another problem. In any case you'll need to take it to the dealer, it's still under warranty, so let them figure out the problem
 
What I find honestly alarming is that it stopped working on the third press that sounds like air in the brake lines or a failing master cylinder, so don't drive it till it's checked.
 
I experienced something like that a few years ago while driving a rental car. Out of the blue, the brakes went soft on a mountain road. It turned out there was air in the system due to a bad seal. Honestly, it was the scariest drive I've ever had. I really recommend getting it towed in,you don't want to take any chances with the brakes
 
Absolutely! When you've got soft brakes because of air in the system, that's not just a little hiccup, it's a big safety issue. Honestly, calling for a tow is definitely the smartest and safest move here.
