Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
NO ASSIST BRAKES SPORADICALLY DO NOT WORK, ALMOST CAUSING THREE ACCIDENTS. NORMALLY IT IS AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR WHEN IT'S COLD IN THE MORNINGS. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, START THE TRUCK, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND NO BRAKES. I IMMEDIATELY PRESS HARD AND THE BRAKES GRIND COMING TO A SLOW STOP. I'VE ALMOST BACKED INTO A COUPLE OF CARS. ANOTHER I BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAYS AND COULDN'T COME TO A STOP UNTIL I CROSSED THE STREET HITTING THE OPPOSITE CURB. THIS NEEDS TO GET RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY $150 AND LEAVE THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS SO THEY CAN TEST BRAKES MANUALLY THEMSELVES. 1) HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND 2) NO CERTAINTY THAT IT WILL HAPPEN FOR THEM AS IT HAPPENS PERIODICALLY.
