What owners wrote
I have been experiencing the brakes felt very soft and made long braking distance. When I towed the small SUV, I thought it was normal because I was driving with over its gvwr. But all the time I have to step more time(like pumping) to stop even on driving under 40MPH. It never allow me to step one time.
Breaks are soft and spongy and the pedal goes within 1-inch from the floor. This is very nerve racking and unsafe. I have to start applying the breaks far ahead from where is normal and hope I stop in time. This rig is heavy and the breaks should work just the opposite to give more time to stop. Had breaks checked at dealer and they said they can't find anything wrong but wanted to charge me to flush breaks. Went to manager and they paid the cost to flush but the problem is still the same.
