WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, WHEN YOU GO TO USE THE BRAKES THEY BECOME 'MUSHY'. YOU HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL EVEN TRY TO STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ALREADY SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND NOW NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, TRAFFIC CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES VERY HARD. THE TIRES ACTUALLY SQUEALED, THE CAR JERKED, AND YOU COULD FEEL THE BRAKE GIVE A JERKING FEELING BELOW MY FOOT. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE MY BABIES WITH ME THIS TIME. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED THIS WEEK IS WHEN THE TIRES SQUEALED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TURN RIGHT AT A LIGHT AND COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH ON A DECLINE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I HOPE THIS IS FIXED VERY SOON. I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER SITES AND NOTICE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF BRAKE ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.
