Hey Everyone I'm new to the forum and just bought a used 2010 V6 Mustang.

I'm just wondering if someone here has any advice for this situation. The car was certified at a dealership so I'm assuming everything was done correctly. I did notice though that the brakes are a little bit spongy. Now, I'm not sure if they're just giving me the run around or that's actually how it is. The brakes have plenty of power but when push the pedal in, it's not stiff like any other car I've driven before. Also if I pump the brakes, it doesn't get any stiffer but the brake pedal doesn't bounce up.

Can anyone here make a recommendation?

Thanks

On a normal stop, do the brakes "engage" approx where you'd expect? If yes, (regardless of how spongy they feel once your stopped), all is well. If it's just had brakes, ensure inner / outter pads are in the correct locations.

Yes it does engage pretty much in the same area.
