GT86 Brake Pedal Feedback Low Fluid

I've noticed a strange feedback from the brake pedal of my 2019 Toyota GT86 with a gasoline engine. Upon inspection, the brake fluid level is lower than expected. The car has 128255 km on the odometer. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I had a similar issue with my GT86. Have you checked your brake pads and rotors for wear? Low fluid can often be a sign that your brakes are getting thin and the system is compensating.

I haven't inspected the brake pads and rotors yet. If worn brakes are the issue, would a simple fluid replacement suffice, or is a more comprehensive brake inspection necessary?

In my case, the fluid was low because the pads were worn down. I'd suggest getting a brake inspection. Replacing just the fluid might not solve the underlying problem, and you could end up with the same issue again soon. Best to get it checked properly.

I appreciate the advice. It seems prudent to have the brakes thoroughly inspected. I took it to a workshop, and you were right. The brake pads were worn, which caused the fluid level to drop. The repair, including new pads and rotors, cost 480€. Thanks again!
