Serious vibration, soft brake pedal and limited travel. This vehicle has exhibited brake problems since new. It was returned to the dealer which replaced the master cylinder under warranty. The problems continued to which the dealer insisted the symptoms were normal. Later, they said it needed another master cylinder but I declined based on previous experience. Vibration was attributed to tires. I have been chasing vibration and soft brakes for the life of the vehicle.
