Dear Robert,

Iâ€™ve noticed my 2018 Nissan Kicksâ€™ brake pedal feels spongy and travels a lot further when I press it. My Father said the brake fluid is probably low; could this be the case?

Thanks,
John

Hi, John!

Itâ€™s hard to say what exactly is causing this issue with your 2018 Nissan Kicks, but itâ€™s possible that your brake fluid is low.

Brake fluid is required to apply pressure to the calipers so, if it thins out, more force is needed to get the same effect.

The first reason your vehicle might be running low is that, just like pads and discs, old brake fluid thins out over time. So, if you haven't brought your car in for a service at the recommended intervals, this could be the problem.

The other reason this liquid may be low is that there is a leak somewhere in the system. This would be a very dangerous issue as you may set off one day without realizing that your brakes donâ€™t work whatsoever.

Either way, I think you should take your Kicks into our Service Department and let the Technicians have a look at it.

Thanks for the question, John! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you ever need anything else.
