Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, the ABS system isn't working and not stopping the vehicle, but the horse trail that is attached to the vehicle is stopping the vehicle.
Abs braking system malfunctioned, causing an extended stopping distance which caused a crash. The truck had warped brake drums which caused the front wheels to shake out of control when on ice, rain or snow, resulting in loss of control. *ak
While driving and applying the brakes vehicle intermittently pulls to the right, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
The brakes pull badly to the left when stopping. Left front brake squeels loudly and pulls hard. The second request on the steering is for wandering steering. Vehicle is very hard to keep in the lane while traveling on grooved highways or while traveling in wind, even in light wind. We have taken the vehicle to the shop several times and the problem seems corrected for about 2 days and come right back. The longer the vehicle is driven before taken back to the shop the worse the braking gets. Very scary. Please help.
While taveling and going up a hill, consumer depressed brake pedal t0 floorboard and vehicle traveled backward, hiting a tree. Please provide further information.
Front brake caliper guide bolts bent.
Front barkes rotors failed.
Anti-lock brakes failed,speed sensor.
Consumer experiencing problem with front wheel brake system going out. Dealer notified and overhauled whole braking system.
The vehicle ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing more wear and tear on the brake pads, and caused the wheel to lock up at every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Dealer reported they are aware of the problem, but no solution. Please provide further details.
Vehicle in shop 8-10 times for poor braking performance. Steering not working. Suspension fails & it pulls severly to left. Dealer/mechanic test drove vehicle w/owner. Could not repair pulling to left, suspension or steering problems. Is a commercial vehicle.
While slowing down from high speed 55mph+, the brake system takes very long time to bring vehicle to a stop. In heavy rainfall, the problem tends to be exaggerated even worse. Even at very slow speed 5-10 MPH, when brakes applied the brakes would lock up, causing on or both of the rear wheels to lock and skid. Pedal will then vibrate or shake as in experienced with an ABS system under full-braking conditions.
When applying the ABS brakes on dry pavement at 20 MPH the brakes did not grab, but the pedal nearly traveled to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. *ak consumer states during a panic stop, wheel locked up and then there was a total release, several times at 2 second intervals.
