Question about 2019 A250(new car) brake pedal sink after stop

Just Got new 2019 A250, nice car, but one problem

after i pick it up the car, when i brake just outside the dealership, and on my way home, step on brake, the car will stop at first place( this is feel normal), but the brake pedal will starts to sink after that( and car will starts to move a little), so i have to step harder in order to keep the car stop, and then, the pedal will still sink even more, so i need to floor the brake pedal for keep car at stop. this is not normal right? This happen about 40-50% of my braking since pick it up the car. feeling like losing the pressure of brake.

for Mercedes warranty, if i need to book a check up after 1 days pick up the car, in this situation, do i need to pay for the labor cost for checking the problem? anyone has any experience on it?

thanks

I haven't noticed that in mine. It definitely sounds like something is wrong to me (but I'm no car expert).

I'd take it back as soon as you can and have them check it out. I'm not a warranty expert but my assumption is it should not cost you anything. I'd also specifically tell the sales associate you worked with that you're bringing the car back because of this. I did that when I had to bring my car back after ~1 week and they assured me there'd be no cost to me. I've had to bring the car in for service twice (replace windshield wiper arm, replace seat belt buckle) and haven't paid anything so far.

Doesn't sound normal. The dealer won't charge you to look at it considering it may be a serious issue.

ok, thanks for the info, i will take the car to them as soon as possible, my friend had told me, this could be some air inside the brake line, to make this.

ya, maybe some air bubble in side the brake line as well, i think warranty should cover this. take back to dealer ASAP, no leak under the car, only 100 km on the car

take the car back from dealer, dealer said, they did test, and found no problem with the brake, they said, it's auto hold function, tell me to use the auto hold function, this kind of brake pedal sink only happen when stop at downhill, so i guess i need to get use to the auto hold for the future, ( if i use auto hold, the brake pedal dose not sink, and car will not move )
