PARKING BRAKE
SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN SOFT (GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED), AND PARKING BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO HOLD VEHICLE ON INCLINES OF GREATER THAN 25 - 30 DEGREES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX WITH ADJUSTMENT AND NEW PARTS; ALL RESULTED IN LITTLE OR NO SUCCESS. ONE OCCASION THE TRUCK ACTUALLY ROLLED DOWN A HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE SET. FORTUNATELY, NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. I DON'T TRUST THE P-BRAKE AT ALL; I ALWAYS CHOCK THE TIRES WHEN PARKED ON ANY INCLINE. *TR

#10202426September 10, 2007
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE HAD TWO OCCURRENCES WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND/OR REGISTERS SPEEDS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS BEING DRIVEN. IN THE LATEST INSTANCE, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE IT STARTED FLUCTUATING TO WHERE IT WAS REGISTERING 120 MPH. WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRUCK STOP AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IT WAS STILL REGISTERING 40 MPH. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. I THOUGHT POSSIBLY THE RAIN MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT IF MOISTURE HAD GOTTEN IN TO THE ELECTRONICS SOMEWHERE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED WORKING NORMALLY AGAIN UNTIL LAST NIGHT. *TR
