October 2021 Fire

I have mid 26k miles I checked my brake fluid and pads they are both good. The brakes for the past 3 months roughly 15k miles (I drive 5k miles a month) have been spongy and soft. Unless I hit the brakes hard they barely work. Sometimes I have. To pump my brakes 2 or 3 times to have them feel normal. I'm going to take my car to the dealership and look over the ABS system and braking system since it seems very unsafe and I have a newborn. It seems like the car only does it at speeds above 25 or 30MPH
