how are your brakes? they might be getting low

you might want to bleed your break lines and see if that helps

I had the same issue, and turns out my rotors were gone. I also replaced my pads while I was at it. My new setup is KVR cross drilled rotors with KVR carbon fibre pads. I highly recommend the setup, it stops on an instant, and I only paid about $170 for both. I did the install myself. The brake pedal is no longer soft and doesn't go down all the way, plus the braking is superb! If you don't know what you're doing, I suggest bringing it to a mechanic, brakes are not something u wanna be messing with.

just change your brakes or use that brake monitor tool that measures if you are too low
