Default Brake pedal question

Hi all. I see there is not a lot of action in the forum, but I will post this question here anyway.

The dealers service man said that ALL TRAX will do this.
When you come to a stop, and keep pressure on the brake pedal, it will bleed off, going almost to the floor.

Does yours do that?

Dealer service is snowballing you. You have something wrong with your braking system. If they keep this up report to consumer affairs, BAR, ect. No brake pedal goes to the floor unless there is something wrong.

Doesn't sound right to me...Drive another trax and compare.

I have seen this issue on vehicles that have the parking brake mechanism incorporated into the rear calipers. the piston retracts completely and you have to move the entire pedal stroke of fluid for the pistons to touch the rotor. could also be a bad mc. clamp off the rear flex lines and see if the condition is fixed.
