#715195November 23, 1999
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND THE DEALER HAS NO ANSWER EITHER. ALL THE COMPONENTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE "HEAVY-DUTY". BRAKING IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM AS THE BRAKES WEAR DOWN. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, BUT, THEY DO WORK W/ THE REMOTE ENTRY. I ALSO NOTICED THE HORN ACTUATOR IS HARD TO ACTIVATE DUE TO THE HARD "LEATHER" FOR THE AIRBAG COVER. THE DRIVER'S DOOR KEEPS GETTING MISSALIGNED, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE HAVING THIS MUCH OF A PROBLEM LIKE IT.
