POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
DRIVELINE - TRANSMISION OR DRIVESHAFT OR REAR END HAS EXTEAME SLACK. VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN TAKING OF IN FORWARD OR REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE SURGE (OR JUMP FORWARD OR BACKWARD)CREATING A SITUATION THAT IS UNSAFE, SERIOUSLY IMACTS THE DRIVEABLITY AND DRAMATICALLY REDUCES THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS "COLD" THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT "SHOW AS BAD AS IT DOES AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO. THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT (RON HUE MGR.) WILL NOT ACKNOLEDGE THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THE DEALERS SALES MANAGER (JEFF SAUER, SALES MGR.) DID DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAS ACKNOLEDGED THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS PROBLEM IS ONE THAT IS AT IT'S WORST WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR MENUVER IN TIGHT SPACES. A $32,000 TRUCK SHOULD NOT DO THIS AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FIX THE PROBLEM! AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND COUNTLESS PHONE CALLS - NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!! PLEASE HELP!!*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
ON 10-1-99 I COMPLAINED TO MY SELLING DEALER ABOUT A METALLIC NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP OR BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I'VE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN AND EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T FIND OR DUPLICATE THE NOISE OR THEY BLAME IT ON ONE OF MY AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN ON 10/16/00 THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY AFTERMARKET EXHAUST SYSTEM MAKING THE NOISE. I DIDN'T INSTALL THE EXHAUST UNTIL 7/00 AND I'VE COMPLAINED WELL BEFORE THIS TIME ABOUT THIS NOISE. WELL TODAY I GOT UNDER MY TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE FOR MYSELF WHAT COULD BE THE SOURCE OF THIS AWEFUL NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT BOTH OF MY REAR BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLIES WERE LOOSE. I WAS ABLE TO WIGGLE BOTH OF THEM WITH MY HAND BUT THE RIGHT REAR WAS THE LOOSEST. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED NOT TO TOUCH THEM ANYMORE, I CONSIDERED TIGHTENING THEM MYSELF BUT DECIDED AGAINST THAT JUST IN CASE ANYBODY SHOULD WISH TO INSPECT THEM. I IMMEDIATELY WENT DOWN TO MY SELLING DEALER AND SPOKE WITH A MANAGER BUT OF COURSE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN ON MONDAY, 10/30/00 INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY REPAIRING THE DEFECT THAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT SO MANY TIMES. THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY HAZZARD AND ONE CAN ONLY IMMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE BOLTS CAME ALL THE WAY OUT COMPLETELY AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE TRUCKS RECALLED AND THE BRAKE BOLT TORQUE CHECKED TO INSURE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE.*AK
