I purchased this porsche macan basic model from a porsche dealership in destin in oct 2018 with 4,000 miles, certified pre owned. The brake pedal has too much pedal travel. I have to push the brake pedal down to far before I feel the brakes engage. I don't feel safe driving this car. It has become a safety issue. On mar 29, 2019 I'm going to take it into the dealership for the 3rd time for the same problem.
