| Description of the problem | When i stepped on the brakes they seemed to react normally. Then the pedal went to the floor. At that point it was braking but not as efficiently as it should. The inefficiency of the brakes would have caused me to overshoot the stopping point of the intersection. Rather than stop in the middle of the intersection, i applied the accelerator to get through the intersection. The brakes continued to operate in that manner for the reminder of that trip. On all subsequent uses of the truck, which was to get back to our hometown dealership, the brakes did respond normally. It has been at the dealer since 2/9/20 and they have not been able to replicate the problem. They have checked dtc's, wiring, vacuum hoses, rotors, pads, brake booster, master cylinder, and fluid and cannot find any problems.*dt |
