| Dt*: the contact stated while approaching a stop, driving 5 mph and applying the brakes, the anti- lock brake system activated. this caused an increased stopping distance. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. upon inspection the speed sensor hub was corroded due to road salt and was replaced. there is a nhtsa recall, # 05v379000, regarding the service brakes, anti-lock. the consumers vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. the alternator failed. the rotors and brakes had to be replaced due to the rotors rusting from the inside. the rotors could not be turned because they were heavily rusted. the left power window failed, the manufacturer used a steel cable for the assembly, which allowed water to seep in which caused corrosion. the left rear outside axle was leaking. the a/c idler pulley and tensioner was making a loud noise. the right power window failed. the tires were cracking along the edges close to the rim. grease leaked out from the cv joint. the rear oil seal was leaking. the rims were delaminating. the cd would not eject from the player. the ignition switch was replaced, the passenger windshield wiper was loose, the multi-function switch was replaced. the accelerator would stick sometimes and the driver side mirror was broken. updated 07/10/06. *jb | |||

| I was driving up an unpaved hill that was slippery from snow but had been plowed. it was night time and the hill is steep with lots of sharp curves. on my way up i noticed my steering became stiff. i came to a point where i was not making any more forward progress and had to stop.(my tires are not the best) when i hit the brakes i then realized i didn't have any. i was able to get the truck into reverse before i started rolling backwards to fast and safely maneuver back down the hill backwards without complications. i feel this should fall under nhtsa campaign id number 05v005000. *tr | |||
