I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY DODGE SPRINTER 3500 MOTORHOME TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO TELL ME THAT A SOFT PEDAL IS ACCEPTABLE. WHEN BRAKING I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET A HARD PEDAL. I KNOW THAT SOME DAY I WILL GET INTO A PANIC STOP SITUATION AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *JB
