I have a 2017 Honda. The brake pedal falls about an inch when the engine starts. Is this normal, do I need service?

NO, it isn't normal, and indicates something bad is going to happen to you if you don't get it fixed.
Add some brake fluid. It's not hard.
Your brake booster works. It runs off engine vacuum.
An inch might be excessive.
But your power brakes provide power assist only when the engine is running, and producing vacuum at the booster. A bit of pedal drop is normal, especially if you're holding pressure with your foot.
That is normal. That is also the procedure when checking if the brake booster works.
That's the power assist for the brakes coming on.
Normal, as vacuum is building.
- What's wrong with my car's brake pedal? I noticed something a week after I bought this used Honda car (the dealer I trust a lot). It only happens when I'm driving very slow on a side street, when stopping at a stop sign… When I push down on the pedal, the pedal goes down but I hear and feel a slight click before I push it all the way down. So it happens halfway as I'm pressing on the brake. It stops perfect and no break issues. Any ideas what this is?
- My cbr 125 feels very sluggish and starts twitching on mid range, starts exactly on 6k and stops on 7k? Before 6k and after 7k the acceleration is good and quick, before i had problems where the engine would just cut out when hot so i changed the ignition coil with original honda one but this problem is still there, i just don't know where the problem could be, the carb has been all cleaned and a bigger jet to match the new exhoust was fitted…
- Is a squeaking noise when you let off the brake pedal in your car a serious problem? Whenever I let off the brake pedal in my Honda, I hear a squeak noise. Is this something that likely just needs to be lubricated/cleaned on the brake mechanism, or is it signs of a more serious problem? It is not the brake pads; those have been replaced recently. Is this something I need fixed As soon as possible, (possible brake failure) or is it something that just simple (not serious ) maintenance?
- Can I upgrade my rims/tires from 15 inch to 16 inch? Is this possible? Will this affect performance/handling? Will it require any other adjusts? 2004 Honda Civic P195/60R15 1997 Pontiac Bonneville P225/60R16 I want to put the 16s on the Honda.
