| When applying the brakes during normal braking condtions/smooth road surface, and no inclement weather, it seemed as though the left front wheel locked up and the truck did not stop in a safe distance. problem was worse on wet roads. dealer stated that nothing was wrong with the brakes. in october of1999, this problem caused a rear end crash. please provide any further information. the truck is a company owned vehicle. *ak | |||
| When applying the brakes the vehicle vibrates and pulls to the left. about every 3 months, the brake assembly has to have something replaced such as pads, rotors, etc. dlr has seen vehicle over 11 times and problem still exists. *ak | |||
