VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
DEAR SIRS, MY PROBLEM ACTUALLY BEGAN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, ALTHOUGH IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE WHILE WE WERE ON A TRIP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, LATELY THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, AS THIS ONLY HAPPENS DURING A RAIN, IT MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CIRCUIT BOARD, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VERY PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED IN A RECALL ( #98043), BUT AFTER CHECKING MY SERIAL #, I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WASN'T COVERED, THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, HOW CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM TO A VEHICLE AND BE ASSOCIATED WITH ONE SERIES OF SERIAL #, AND YET THE SAME PROBLEM SHOWS UP ON OTHER SERIAL # OF THE SAME MAKE & MODEL, SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO WIDEN THE SCOPE AS TO THE COVERAGE ON THIS ONE? NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 98V150001 THANKS, RESPECTFULLY YOURS, DANNY A. DEVORE. *AK

#725817July 22, 2000
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, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE WEARING OF THE FRONT BRAKES, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE ROTORS BEING REPLACED FIRST, THEN THE PADS REPLACED 2 WEEKS LATER, AND UPON REPLACING THE PADS THE NEW ROTORS REQUIRED RESURFACING. SINCE THEN AFTER DRIVING APPROX 5K MILES, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW PADS ARE APPOX 40% WORN. I REQUIRED THE RIGHT FRONT BALLJOINT TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE ROTORS WERE DONE. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES & HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND HAS A COMPLETE LOSE OF BRAKING. IT FAILED THE ANNUAL INSPECTION, DUE TO A LEAKING DONNUT GASKET. THE TAILGATE SQUEAKS & RATTLES, AND APPEARS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR CREAKS REQUIRING REPEATED GREASING. THERE APPEARS TO BE EXCESSIVE WEARING IN THE FRONT END AND BRAKING SYSTEM, AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE CREAKING & NOISE FROM THE REAR AREA OF THE TRUCK, TAILGATE, AND DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE BEEN MET WITH CONTINUED RESISTANCE AND LACK OF ANSWERS FROM BOTH THE MFG AND DEALER. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.*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
