When vehicle is at a complete stop, and consumer steps on the brake pedal, it move forward all the way until it hits the floor, vehicle has been into dealer 5 times for this problem, and has replaced various parts in the brake system, but problem still occurs, the uneven front braking problem has been corrected.

Driving on an incline of about 30 degrees and stopping on the incline applyi the foot brakes, after releasing the foot brakes the car would roll backwards. While coming down on the same incline and stopping on the incline with the foot bakes and selecting rev and releasing the foot barkes the car would roll down the incline. Took the car to the dealer for a check of the problem. They ran some test and said that this was normal. I disagreed, the truck is still doing the same thing.
