'09 Spongy brake
I took my "09 EB 4x4 in for the second time for the spongy brakes that go almost to the floor. They replaced my master cylinder. It might be a fraction better, but still has an awful lot of pedal travel before any real stopping happens. So I went over to the showroom and asked to drive...- gulftracker

'09 Spongy brake
I have an '09 4x4 v6 and the brake pedal travels a long way before any serious braking happens. I would say it is "spongy" My dealer says it is normal.
