Windshield wipers don't work or stop working in rain.
When I bought the truck used (85000 mls)it had a bad front end idler link and a bad A/C clutch bearing. Not long after I bought it I had to replace the alternator. I also noticed that the brakes didn't stop the vehicle like they should and I was scared to let my wife drive it because of the spongy brakes. I took it in several times to different shops and also the dealer to have them look at the brakes and was always told that the brakes on this model were just that way. I put new rotors and pads on the front and new rear drums and shoes and repeatedly bled the system with slight improvement. It acts as though there is a restriction in the brake line to both front and rear. It acts as though they designed the thing not to stop quickly. I unplugged the motor to the ABS so that at least it would squeal a tire. The lack of sure low speed stops has caused 2 near miss accidents and 1 t bone which has raised our insurance rates. I have learned to drive the thing anticipating stops and prebraking. I went to the dealer and just like with the windshield wiper circuit board that shorted out when it gets wet they told me that for my specific model there were no recalls and they refused to look at it. To add insult to injury last week they sent us a mailer saying that they would replace my brake pedal with a different one to give me a "better feel". That won't do me much good if I'm stuck under a bus!!!!! I have a vehicle which has substandard brakes, which were designed that way and they won't do a [xxx] thing about them. I like a lot of things about the truck but the brakes suck big time.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When turning windshield wipers off blades will not go back to a resting position. If turned back on they will continue to go back and forth about 15 times instead of once before stopping. Dealer didn't pull up a recall, and warranty doesn't cover it.
Design of HVAC and sound system controls requires the driver to hold a button and watch a pointer on a display to adjust HVAC and sound system to desired settings while driving. This is an unsafe design feature!
While driving in a rainstorm windshield wipers worked intermittently. This has happened on several occasions. Haven't contacted the dealer or manufacturer.
When windshield wipers are activated they do not turn off until the vehicle is shut off. Sometimes they will stop in the middle of the windshield while the vehicle is running. Dealer has been contacted.
The brakes have always been mushy. I understsand that ABS will respond differently to emergency brakeing than "normal" brakes but this thing is a real adventure to drive when you've got to make panic stops.it seems to resist your foot the harder you push the less braking you feel.the front left wheel bearing module went out which caused the disk brake to grab and both front tires to wear very badly. The electric wiper control went out becauset the control box is in the engine compartment and got wet. Dah! The drag link bushing rusted out because the grease fitting was apparently inaccessable to service and never got any grease. The radiator began leaking at 90000 mls. At which time I ran a stop leak product in it which stopped it so far. The waterpump went out at 110,000 mls and the alternator at 95000 mls. Brakes are biggest concern!!!!!
Windshield are working intermittently.
Windshield wipers are working intermittently, poor visibility due to failure in the rain.
