| Description of the problem | While on the road, began to notice brake pedal travel was softer and closer to the floor before any braking action occurred. Stopped at the last red light before arriving home. While sitting at the light, i steadily pressed harder on the pedal, and it reached the floor. Pulled into driveway and duplicated the same test. When purchased new, the brake pedal was very sensitive to the touch, and braking was quick to react. We had to adapt to that so as not to throw ourselves forward in our seats when applying the brakes. But that's not the issue now. The issue now is one of feeling the brakes can not be trusted, so much so that something needs to be fixed. Truck is in for service as i type. Dealer says they haven't been able to duplicate what i've reported. That seems to be the norm in many consumer complaints i've researched from owners of this very same vehicle, with much of the same braking issues. Some of those complaints mentioned minor accidents, and other evasive actions needed to avoid damage or personal injury. Meanwhile, i'm waiting for dealer's next response. |
