| Description of the problem | I purchased my truck on january 6th, 2016. I noticed the soft pedal on my test drive, and the dealer said they would be happy to fix the issue at no charge to me, so i made an appointment to have the brakes serviced. They replaced the front pads, and cut the rotors, replaced the rear pads and rotors. My brakes were worse. I explained that the brake pedal travels to the floor. Even if you "pump" the brakes, the pedal will still continue to go to the floor. Under normal, gradual braking, the is excessive travel before the brakes start to grab. Under a "panic stop", the pedal will go right down with poor response. After 3 more trips, they have replaced the master cylinder, abs module, all four pads, rear rotors, and bled the system. No improvement has been achieved, and they have since said they cannot do anything more for me. |
