Soft Brake Pedal Diagnosis
A consistently soft brake pedal on a 2020 Ford Mustang indicates a hydraulic issue, likely air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, or a failing master cylinder. This reduces braking effectiveness and poses a safety risk.

What You Should Do
Do not drive the vehicle until the brake system is inspected and repaired.
Check brake fluid level and look for leaks around all wheels, brake lines, and the master cylinder.
If fluid is low, top off with DOT 4 fluid (as specified for this vehicle) and bleed the brakes to remove air.
If the pedal remains soft after bleeding, the master cylinder may need replacement.
Professional diagnosis is strongly recommended.
