Who's fought Silverado/ Sierra brake problems? and won?

To be honest, I've been told that " that's the way the brakes are for those years" . I bought my first 2004 GMC 4x4 Sierra in 2008 for a work truck. I also thought the brakes were spongee on the top half. They work fine from middle pedal down, never had a problem stopping even in 2 emergency stops. Even after having the brakes redone in 2012 , the pedal was the same. Took it back to dealership(had them do the work, as I could write the repair off my books and hoped it would resolve my issue with a soft pedal.) That's when they told me"thats how they are". My 2013 GMC Sierra is "normal". Guess they resolved the issue.
