Push Button Start Brake Pedal
This is going to sound weird, but I'll do my best to explain it. I have a Diesel Platinum with the push button start. Two times now I have gone out to start the vehicle and the brake pedal doesn't push down all the way like normal. It almost feels like someone has pumped the brake pedal with the truck off. (You how if you do that, the pedal eventually won't be able to be pressed down?) The truck starts fine, and the pedal returns to normal after starting, but it's just funky. Am I imagining things? Thanks everyone!

My 2015 F150 Platinum has done that on numerous occasions over the two years I have owned it. Never experience the brake pedal in that position unless trying to start it.
I have only had my 2017 F350 Platinum (diesel) for several days and it has not happened yet although I expect it to in the future.

Thanks for the answers guys! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem. I'm not sure what would cause that based on my understanding of a basic braking system, but this is also my first diesel, so I didn't know if it's a "diesel" thing. You know, some weird turbo assisted hydraulic brake assembly or something.
