Question

Answer
Hi Wayne,

ask the person at the dealership who said this, to go out and stand in the parking lot.  Tell him you will be approaching him 'dead-on' at 20mph with the brakes you currently have.  I'm sure he won't be smiling when make this request.

Your brakes should always be firm to the touch. Any play whatsoever is a sign that your brakes are in need of repairs.

Pushing the brake pedal to the floor = no brakes at all.

Go to a local brake shop and have your system inspected and repaired immediately.  And watch out for dealer consultants who may want to test other clients brakes in their parking lot!  :<

Best of luck,
