Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front brakes rubbing on rotors causing brake pads to smoke. this caused the warping of the brake rotors. replaced brake pads and rotors. this fixed the problem for about 1 (one) month. this time after smelling the brakes and seeing smoke, i tried to pull off the road but the truck would barely move. this is not the first problems with the brakes. i had found the front left caliper mounting bolt had become loose and stripped the bolt hole. i heli-coiled the hole and loctited the bolt in place.
