3.3TT Brake Pedal Travel - How far does YOURS go down?

[SteveCo]

Mine does it. Foot on the brake, medium pressure (Think: Roughhousing with your kids/big dog, but not crushing them). It'll slowly sink about 3/4ths of the way down, and it'll sit there. If you stomp, it still has a bit of travel though. I'm wondering how hard you guys sit on your brake pedal. Lol.

Thanks for checking! It's starting to sound like there is something that can be done to bring that 'end point' up off the pedal stops. Possibly mechanical, or it might just be entrained air that requires a more thorough/pressure bleeding process, or even a master cylinder bleed - whatever it is, it's looking like it varies from car to car.

And to answer your question, I don't normally exert extra pressure on the pedal at rest - so it's not something that would make itself evident. When I do, though, I expect the pedal to reach a firm position where it stops - before the end of its travel.

More good data to discuss with KIA ... Cheers!
