I was at that time I pressed on the brakes and realized that my brakes were extremely spongey. I figured I only had about 10% braking power. With my two year old in the back seat, I pushed as hard as I could to stop my truck. Luckily, by the grace of god, I was able to stop my truck without rear ending the car in front of me. My truck was then towed to the dealership. I bought the truck 5 days prior. My truck has approximately 161 miles on it. The dealer told me the next day I needed a new master cylinder and hydro boost.
