| Description of the problem | When i purchased the vehicle in september of 2020 i noticed every once in awhile when i push on the brake the brake light would come on and the panel felt very spongy. I took it to the dealership and they fix the light they told me the brake pedal feel was normal. But kia and hyundai have a recall out right now it does not cover my car but from what i've read of the recall it sounds like that's what's happening to my car. The pedal feels very spongy it always feels like it's going down to the floorboard when you press the brake |
