Most likely causes

  1. Air in the brake lines — Air compresses where fluid can't, making the pedal feel soft — common after low fluid or recent brake work.
  2. Brake fluid leak — A failing line, hose, caliper, or wheel cylinder lets fluid escape; the pedal gets lower as fluid gets lower.
  3. Failing master cylinder — Internal seals can leak pressure without any visible fluid loss.

What to do

Check the brake fluid reservoir — if it's low or empty, don't drive; have the car towed or a mobile mechanic come to it. A spongy pedal can become no pedal without much warning.

Common questions

Can I just top up the brake fluid?

Topping up may restore some pedal temporarily, but fluid doesn't get consumed — if it's low, it went somewhere, and the leak still needs finding.

Why is a spongy pedal dangerous?

Because it means reduced hydraulic pressure — in a hard stop you may not have the braking force you expect.

What does fixing it usually involve?

Anywhere from a brake fluid flush and bleed to replacing a leaking component; diagnosis pins it down quickly.
