Typical brake symptoms owners report

Brake pedal sinks toward the floor or past the gas pedal during a stop, letting the accelerator engage and causing the truck to lunge forward.
Pedal fades or travels downward after coming to a stop, so the vehicle rolls until more pressure is applied.
Brakes fail to respond during hard or emergency stops, including cases where forward-collision or precollision assist activated but the truck did not slow.
Owners report needing to pump the brake pedal two to three times, especially above 50 mph, before it firms up and slows the vehicle.
Pulsation or vibration through the pedal on highway and city stops that worsened the longer the truck was driven.
Some incidents involved sudden unintended acceleration right after braking, described as wide-open throttle with ineffective brakes.
