We just traded our 2004 Sandpiper which had the same problem. There were 2 tread/risers then the landing which covered a 28" vertical rise, almost 10" high steps. I believe the code around here for residential is about 7 1/2" rise. What I did was build a set of steps over the existing ones which made 3 tread/risers and a landing. It made a world of difference.
Something like this turn 2 steps into 3. I did this for my wife when she had foot surgury and we liked it so much it has stayed. I carpeted it after we desided to keep it. Had to leave it just set over the existing steps so it can be pulled up to open a cabinet on the side of the second original step.
