Past couple of days, my break pedals feel less sensitive, what was once a quick and ease push down is now more of a lead food slam, this has never happened before.

What lies will the dealership tell me?

First they're going to tell you that you only have ONE brake pedal. Next they're likely to say they don't use food grade salami (with or without lead) in the brake linkage. They may have experimented at one time but likely found that when the mayo and mustard soaks into the bread, the pedal feel is too mushy.

I don't know what lies they might tell you but, they may try and sell you on a bag of chips and a medium soda to go with the lead food. My advice is to go for it, if you're hungry. Skip the extended warranty for sure.

jk jk Hope they get it fixed for you ASAP.

Have you been keeping a eye on your brake fluid ? If you have a manual it shares the reservoir with the clutch which likes to dirty up the fluid. Many like I have installed a separate clutch reservoir, I bough mine from gen5diy.com its off a Holden GTO. You may need a brake bleed, or other preventative maintenance.

My dealership has good service, they would get the issue taken care of.

how many miles on your car and has pedal travel increased? I suspect two possibilities for your condition.
