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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE ROTORS WARP ALL THE TIME, CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED 5 TIMES. FIRST THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, THEN REPLACED, THEN TURNED ETC, ETC. I'M DUE TO GO IN AGAIN FOR THE 6TH FIX, WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON THE NEWEST SET OF ROTORS. I ONLY HAVE 52,000 ON THE TRUCK. SO FAR THE DEALER HAS STOOD BEHIND THE FIXES BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS WELL AS A FINANCIAL CONCERN SINCE THEY WILL START TO MAKE ME PAY. I'VE BEEN A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN FOR 18 YEARS. I ABUSE MY CRUISER BRAKES ON A DAILY BASIS AND THEY LAST 40,000 MILES! MY TRUCK IS BABIED AND IT EATS UP BRAKES... UNACCEPTABLE. *LA
