Porsche Macan brake pedal has excessive travel of 4 inches before engaging on Porsche Macan

Some Porsche Macan owners report experiencing excessive brake pedal travel, which can be perceived as excessive by some drivers, particularly in parking situations where the brakes may engage inconsistently. This long brake pedal travel can manifest as a slow drop of the pedal, leading to a longer distance before the brakes engage, which is concerning for many. Common symptoms include a subjective feeling of the brake pedal being "too long" just before the vehicle comes to a stop, especially at slow speeds. Some drivers have also reported odd sounds or sensations, such as a "click" when pressing the brake pedal. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues have their brake system inspected by a qualified mechanic or Porsche specialist, as proper adjustment or replacement of components like the brake master cylinder, along with ensuring there is no air in the brake lines, can help resolve these concerns and maintain optimal brake performance and safety.
