Car is scheduled to go into the dealer, but I'd like your opinions in the meantime.

Brand new car, 2016 Cherokee Latitude FWD.

I noticed and my wife noticed without me saying anything that the brakes feel soft/mushy. Pressing the brake pedal gets firm and starts to slow the car but the brakes are not really grabbing and slowing down the car fast enough. I have to push a lot more pressure down on the pedal after the pedal already feels firm to get the car to stop in situations of a quick stop. After the car stops there IS still room to push the pedal down.

This was noticed first when I had to make a somewhat sudden stop. For a split second got a flush of nervousness when the car wasn't stopping as I'm use to with all the other cars I've driven. Pushing harder on the pedal was required. It isn't like they aren't working at all.

Ideas?

Air in the line? Fresh off the truck, what's likely the issue?


Thanks for your comments.
