I have ha the car back to the dealer for this brake problem and they said this is normal ,what the problem is the brake pedal is soft and when braking you foot can hit the gas pedal this also the pedal will go down when you are holding at a stop,also its not leaking brake fluid as the car was service at the dealer.
