Description of the problem	Bought used with 46k miles on it. Brakes have been weak ever since i got it. Has never caused an accident, but it sure has had me worried about getting stopped numerous times. Dealers blow me off when i ask about fixing it. Maybe premium pads? I think it's the hydraulics that are weak, don't know if pads would make a difference. This is straight stops from all speeds.
