SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
SINCE 300 MILES I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER EVERY 3000 - 5000 MILES FOR THE ROTORS WARPING, SHAKING DURING STOPPING, SEVERE PULL TO THE RIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY DURING STOPPING, NO BRAKES WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WET OUT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK, I HAVE SO FAR BEEN ABLE TO KEEP FROM GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT BY DRIVING OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE BERM UNTIL I COULD GET IT STOPPED. THE DEALERS TURN THE ROTORS AND LUBRICATE THE CALIPERS(???) SINCE WHEN DO YOU PUT GREASE OR OIL ON THE BRAKE COMPONENTS? THIS WORKS FOR ABOUT 3000 MILES AND BACK TO SHAKY AND NO STOP AGAIN. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL COST OVER $1000.00 TO FIX. I PULL A 30 FOOT CAMPER MR FORD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN FRONT OF ME DURING AN EMERGENCY STOP? I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BE THERE. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED APPROX. 25,000 MILES, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND. THE SOUND TRAVELS AND MAY SEEM TO BE COMING FROM ANYWHERE IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THE DOOR AND DOOR FRAME. I WAS ABLE TO PINPOINT THE NOISE TO BE ORIGINATING FROM THE NADER PIN OR LATCHING DEVICE. A LITTLE BIT OF LITHIUM GREASE SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES AND THE NOISE IS GETTING WORSE. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS MAY BE AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM OR A PROBLEM WITH THE LATCHING DEVICE, IN EITHER CASE I QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR TO REMAIN LATCHED IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.*AK
