Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There was a severe vibration in my front brakes when driving with my pickup bed loaded with wood and coming down a hill. also, happened to a lesser extent when pickup bed was empty and coming off the freeway on a downslope. had my brakes serviced, and was advised of tsb br004-02. front brake calipers, backing plates, brake hoses, wheel bearings, oil seals and flange bolts were replaced. because the vehicle is out of warranty i had to pay over $2,000 plus tax. i feel this is wrong due to tsb should be a recall. there is obvious design fault in the sizing of the calipers.*ak
