Default Re: Soft brakes and creeping
It is not that your brakes are letting go, it is that the engine is speeding up due to the A/C compressor cutting in. I think the speed up is too much (given the size of the v-8 engine) and the torque converter really wants to start "hooking up" when it does this. Yes, this can bite you until you realize what is going on.

On the second issue about brake pedal, totally normal. You may get a little better brake pedal by manually adjusting your rear brakes. The difference between the two pumps is mostly in rear brake shoe travel.
