There’s definitely something wrong!!! Check your brake reservoir fluid level for it sounds that it’s very, very low and/or you have air in your brake lines and they need to be bled or your brake pump/booster might be defective. Also look under the car in the vicinity of the wheels and see if you can notice any wet or oily areas. Same goes for the area in your garage where you usually park.

Bottom line: Take it to your dealer ASAP if it's under warranty or to a respectable brake shop if not but by no means continue to drive around with this defect.

Sounds like the seals on the master cylinder are passing so even if the fluid level is full this will cause the pedal to do that. Get it fixed quick as you might lose braking when you need it the most.

no nothing is probably wrong, if your car stops ok, and the fluid is not low then i wouldnt worry.
