#714359November 5, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
I'VE HAD SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES TWICE NOW. MY BRAKES PULSATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I'VE HAD MY ROTORS RESURFACED TWICE.(1) AT 34,000 MILES & (2) AT 58840. THE WARRANTY THE DEALER SHIP GIVES ME IS 3 MONTH OR 3000 MILES FOR PULSATING, EVEN IF I WERE TO BUY NEW ROTORS. I' VE HAD TO RECENTLY REPLACE MY RIGHT BACK SHOE BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBUING METAL ON METAL BUT MY LEFT SIDE WAS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY COULD'NT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION WHY. I'M TIRED OF PAYING $ 500 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM YEAR AFTER YEAR. MY ANTENNA WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT BROKE OFF, SO I HAD THE DEALER PUT A NEW ONE IN A YEAR AGO AND NOW THE ANTENNA DOESN'T GO DOWN. MY MOONROOFS COVER (INTERIOR ) POPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PUT IT BACK IN. THESE ARE THE COUPLE OF PROBLEMS I'VE ENCOUNTERED. I ESPECIALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHEN IT STARTS TO PULSATE. I HAVE A 4 MONTH OLD BABY & I'M ALWAYS AFRAID SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG.
