Default soft break pedal , old brake hose deteriorating clogging the caliper ?

I have been doing some research on soft break pedal and i came across this thread rx forum . I was wondering if our gs have the same problem ? has anyone else had this problem or heard of this ? My break pedal does seem to feel right in my 2009 gs 350 and i started searching for what might be wrong . Thank you in advance

Being in NJ, I wouldn't be surprised if one of your calipers (likely one or both in the rear) is either sticking, seized, or some combination of both.

Yeah it’s very common unfortunately, and a possibility even with the low miles
