| The brake system performs poorly. the brake pedal has a soft feel to it unless i pump the pedal 2 or 3 times. it acts like there is air in the system. the dealer states this feel is normal and took no action. also, the brakes have on 2 occasions barely worked, i have needed to use both feet full force to get the truck to stop. i took the truck to the dealer today and they state they can find nothing wrong. i have no confidence in the brake system of this vehicle. *tr | |||
