Brake peddle going down after stop ?
2016 C300 - 2 weeks new

Not always but many times, probably 1 out of 5 times after coming to a full stop almost immediately without applying any addition foot pressure the brake peddle will lower another 3 inches in a smooth and controlled motion. The brakes hold and do not have any other indication of a problem except for this moving / softening motion. Any definitive reason this is happening or should I have the Dealer check it?

Thanks in advance for any information.

When applying the parking break my foot break will dip slightly. But not 3 inches.

Christ, don't rely on this forum! Resolve all doubt in favor of an inspection, sooner rather than later.

Dont think auto hold could have something to do with it?

Same thing happens to my 2011 w212 after I initiate the hold function, but happens very rarely.
