Correct answer
- AA una avería en el sistema de frenos.A fault in the braking system.
If you have to press the brake pedal right down to brake, the most likely cause is a fault in the brake circuit, such as a lack of fluid or air in the system. Water can briefly reduce braking efficiency, but it does not make the pedal sink; you should stop and have it checked.
