I'll be interested to see if the pedal stays firm after a week or so of normal driving.

I will update after a week if you don't hear from me definitely send me a message and I'll update. As I run an auto repair shop and I am knee-deep with everybody going back to work evidently. My original theory was it was brake rotor run-out.I do believe some of the rangers did get bad rotors that's why there is an SMS out on certain vin. This one in particular had a different SMS.the way home I had about a nine Mile stretch with no touching of the brake if it was run out I would have noticed it immediately on exit I got off on, But again I will updateI'll be interested to see if the pedal stays firm after a week or so of normal driving.
Update, so far so good. I'll reupdate in a few weeks. Right now perfectI will update after a week if you don't hear from me definitely send me a message and I'll update.

The braking could definitely be more consistent, mine has felt a bit mushy at times as well. The good news is that after 7300 miles the brakes feel better and I hardly notice them anymore. Hopefully it is not just because I have adapted my driving to bad brakes!
One thing I have noticed is that as the transmission is downshifting through the gears the truck "lurches" forward a bit, making it feel like inconsistent braking. I have yet to have the rough shift TSB performed and hope that fixes this issue.
I want to make another update. After many more miles. Both our rangers brakes are working the same. Any one having issues, should see a dealer. Mine had a completely different SMS, if your truck was built the same time as mine. I suspect a easy fix. Don't let yourself adapt to it.

Steve, so just bleeding air from your brake system was the fix? Thanks!I want to make another update. After many more miles. Both our rangers brakes are working the same.

On mine but per my vin. That's all that needed done. I know some had rotor issue, must be certain vins for that one. Mine was only bleedSteve, so just bleeding air from your brake system was the fix? Thanks!
Thanks, Steve. Mine is a 2020 so pretty sure it would not be in the build date range of yours. I still might ask the dealer to bleed the brakes to see if it makes a difference.On mine but per my vin.

Same here. 2020 with a Nov 2019 build date.Thanks, Steve. Mine is a 2020 so pretty sure it would not be in the build date range of yours. I still might ask the dealer to bleed the brakes to see if it makes a difference.
