Service Brakes problem #1

I was driving out of whataburger on 8-2-16 and all of a sudden my brakes just went all the way down to the floor board and I stopped right before I was in traffic. My tire pressure light stays on, I have had them checked several times & the back of the truck jumps to the side if I hit a bump. All of this scares the heck out of me and I have only had this vehicle 5 months. Also the truck would start and cut off so I took it to a shop 4 times and they so called fixed it. I was told I had oil leaking into my valves. It is starting better but still some hesitation at times.

Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem #2

Front brake line hose failure. . Brake went all the way to floor. I was stopped, put car in reverse, foot still on the brake, all the sudden my foot went to the floor. I pumped brake but still to the floor. When brake pedal was to the floor the car would stop. I know to keep pressing brake to the bottom but another driver may not and have no brakes. Car is at the dealer right now getting it replaced. Having worked on cars for years there is no excuse for a catastrophic brake hose failure on a 105,000 car that is 9 years old.
