SUSPENSION:FRONT
VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO THE SHOP REPEATEDLY FOR FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ATTORNEY UNDER CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. VEHICLE HAD TWO FRONT DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT WERE REPLACED BY GOODYEAR. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AS BEING OUT OF ALIGMENT FIVE TIMES NOW. VEHICLE INITIALLY PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. AFTER SUPPOSEDLY BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SIGNIFICANTLY COMPENSATE "THE PULL" BY HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL AT AN ANGLE. THE PULL OF THE VEHICLE IS DAMAGING THE FRONT TIRE THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 31-1050R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31-1050R15 )

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
I CARRIED MY VEHICLE TO SEARS AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO HAVE MY BRAKES CHECKED BECAUSE MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS SPONGY. THE MECHANICS CHECKED MY TRUCK AND SAID MY BRAKES WERE FINE, BUT I HAD A BAD MASTER CYLINDER. THEY DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING, BUT THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. CARL GREGORY CHECKED THE BRAKES AND CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD. THEY ORDERED THE PART AND IT WAS IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY PUT THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER ON AND MY BRAKES ARE STILL SPONGY. MY BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THEY START BRAKING. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.*AK
