Anyone else notice spongy brakes on the Wrangler. I have a Rubicon JLU 2.0L and honestly the brakes are lacking. Are there any cost effective upgrade options out there?

Haven't involved the dealer yet. This is my first jeep and wondering if its normal and what aftermarket options were available.The brakes are fantastic on these jeeps but I have heard a few people complain about spongy brakes. Maybe there is air in the system? Have you told dealer yet?
There is a little bit of regenerative braking with the 2.0's ETorque system, you may be feeling the difference between this and the friction brakes.Anyone else notice spongy brakes on the Wrangler.

Explain it to me again...How exactly does a sponge cry under water: as if that's the part of the fiction of the character I should have the most problem finding plausible.(Satire)
Great OP, just great! (mock anger sarcasm)
Now look what you've done
I'll be spending the better half of the rest of today trying to console this little fellow!

I've test driven a Jeep with the 2.0 Turbo ETorque and a Ram Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi ETorque... The Hemi's BSG really grabs you in regenerative braking... you can hear that thing crank up when you're going down hill and its recharging that battery.Explain it to me again...How exactly does a sponge cry under water: as if that's the part of the fiction of the character I should have the most problem finding plausible.
Seriously: I wonder if other 2.0L owners are also perceiving the "sponginess" that may be what @Sean L reports as perhaps the difference between the friction of brake pads versus the resistance of spinning magnetos returning and capturing some of the kinetic energy of the rig's forward movement back into the potential energy of battery stored electrical power.
