Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Although i have not had an accident, the brakes on my 2004 silverado k1500 are dangerous. the pedal is very soft and when pulling a 4000# travel trailer i have serious problems stopping safely. i have had to take the shoulder on one occasion to avoid hitting another vehicle. even when empty, it takes an excessive distance to safely stop. my dealer has told me the brakes are within gm specifications, but has also told me what i can do to improve them. at my cost of course. *jb
