Skoda Kamiq Spongy Brake Pedal Feedback

I'm scratching my head here. My 2020 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine is giving me some odd feedback through the brake pedal. It feels kind of spongy, especially when braking gently. The car has 226492 km on the clock. I've checked the basics, like brake fluid levels, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. I've read somewhere that undervoltage can mess with the brake system and hydraulic brakes. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

A 2020 Skoda Kamiq owner experienced spongy feedback from the brake pedal, particularly during gentle braking. Despite checking brake fluid levels and finding no leaks, the issue persisted. It was suggested that undervoltage might be affecting the hydraulic brakes and calipers. After a garage inspection, the problem was confirmed to be an undervoltage issue, which was subsequently repaired.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Strange feedback from the brake pedal... did you check the brake fluid level?

Brake fluid is topped up. Could this undervoltage thing really cause that spongy feeling, even with plenty of brake fluid and no obvious leaks in the system or around the rotors?

Yep, had the same spongy feel in my Kamiq, messing with the calipers. Turned out to be voltage issue. Get it checked at a shop.

The garage confirmed it was an undervoltage issue affecting the hydraulic brakes and calipers. They fixed it, and the total repair was 240€. Thanks for the help.
