DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON TX SH 123 IN OUTSIDE LANE. SUDDENLY, MY TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS NUDGED FROM BEHIND, LIFTED UP AND WENT INTO A BACKWARDS SLIDE ACROSS 3 LANES INTO THE OUTSIDE NORTHBOUND LANE. I WAS STRUCK THERE BY A CHEVY ASTRO VAN, AND PUSHED OFF THE ROAD INTO THE BARDITCH. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTATALED, BUT NO INJURIES. ONE DRIVER IN EACH VEHICLE, NO PASSENGERS IN EITHER.

UPON INSPECTION, BOTH REAR TIRES WERE BLOWN OUT ON MY TRUCK.( DOT NUMBER: JROM184303 TIRE SIZE: P265/75R16 )

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDALS ON A SUDDEN STOP ON BUMPY ROADS AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT DEPRESS. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY. IT TAKES THE TRUCK A LONGER TIME TO STOP THAN NORMAL. THIS ALMOST CASUED ME TO REAR END CARS ON MORE THAN ONE OCASSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAPPLY PRESSURE TO GET FIRM BRAKE PRESSURE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES, IT GIVES A FALSE SENSE OF ABS WORKING BUT THE TRUCK STOPS SLOWER THAN IF IT WERE THE ABS. SUDDEN STOPS ON BUMPY ROADS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTANTLY FEELS AS THOUGH THERE IS AIR IN THE LINE AND NEEDS TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF AMBIANT TEMPERATURE OR ENGINE TEMP. THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AT 1515 MILES PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. I AM A LITTLE MORE THAN CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL IN AN EMERGENCY STOP. *AK
