2012 Toyota Tundra 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed

381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD

8000 mi Spongy pedal that is fine when (I assume) they bleed the brakes, but after a few days the pedal becomes spongy again. I have to pump the pedal to get it firm which tells me there is air in the system. This is the third time this has happened. Parking brake that does not engage all the way, so the vehicle will roll slowly because there is partial braking. They adjust it works for a little while yhen does the whole thing over again.
