Default Cherokee 180 soft brake - causes?

I agree. The most likely cause of the symptoms you describe is a "leaking"
master cylinder.



There's an easy test for air vs leaking master, at least in cars.

Pump up & stand on the brakes, hard. Hold for 1-2 minutes. If it is
the master, the peddle will sink toward the floor. If it is air; it
will stay the same.
