Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Owners describe the brake pedal failing to stop the vehicle during hard or emergency braking, sometimes after the ABS engaged, resulting in low-speed crashes.
- Several report the accelerator and brake pedals sitting too close together, causing the gas pedal to be pressed along with or instead of the brake, especially while backing up or maneuvering.
- Some describe a shudder felt through the floorboard and steering column at low speed that occurs on flat roads, upgrades, downgrades, and turns.
- One owner reported a brake line breaking on the highway due to rust, noting the frame had been treated under a separate rust coating but the brake line itself was not covered by any recall.
- Others describe a rear brake becoming inoperable on a slippery surface, causing the truck to sway, and a plastic piece near the emergency brake shifting and blocking the brake pedal from being depressed.
