Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At any speed during braking, hard or soft, there seems to be a wash board effect. truck seems to buck. from reading other reports, it seems to be a manufacturer defect that is being ignored by the manufacturer. i purchased the truck with 62000 miles and at the time, there was smooth braking. now at 73000 i have the above described problem. i will not take it to a dealer, rather i will take it to a reputable brake shop to have the problem fixed.
