| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Had a sudden stop in 100 degree weather, when pulled off, the truck felt as if it were pulling a load and a strong burning rubber smell was coming from the front end. ended up having it towed to the dealership where it was found that the front calipers had seized up. dealership was not certain as to what caused the problem. truck only has 52,000 miles on it. ended up putting all new braking system on the front end. a year ago had the same problem, brought into the dealership and they told me it was a sensor that controlled the abs. can't figure that one out, only have abs on the rearend, not on the front. it is a scary thing when you are on the highway and you have that burning smell and smoke is bellowing from the front wheels. dealership claims no fire would've occurred. tained. *jb |
