Braking issue..
My 72k 07 JKU has been to the shop close to a half dozen times for soft brakes. I've grown used to the pump-brake and not following too closely because I've been told by 2 shops and 5 mechs that my brakes are fine. A buddy has been driving my Jeep and called the other day asking if I had air in my lines (which is how it feels) Took it to the dealer again. Clean bill of health. Anyone else having/had this problem? 3" lift, no added weight, stock sahara wheels and tires. Scared to add 35's if I'm having trouble stopping 32's. It's not horrible but there is definitely something not right. Thanks!

Every Chrysler product I have owned has been that way. My 98 feels down right scary but seems to stop. So, compared to my truck the jeep feels good. I want to add braided brake lines. I think the lines are a good part of the problem.

Have they bled the ABS system. There is a way that they can use a star scan and activate the ABS pump. The service writer didn't know about this but, the tech did. I had this done to mine and there was an improvement with my brakes.

Not with my jeep, but in my silverado I did a lot of mountain driving and over heated my rotors once. They glazed over and pretty much did what u described. I took the rotors off and resurfaced them. Problem solved. Not sure if this is what is going on with yours
