| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving at various speeds up to 55 mph the truck began pulling to the left and deceleration was much greater than normal. at this time i decided to pull off the road to investigate. noticed lots of heat coming from drivers side disk break. when restarting and moving forward the truck stopped very quickly. the failure was, the caliper did not retract, causing the disc brake to overheat and it seized up. this failure could cause the truck to pull left into on coming traffic. a tragedy could come of this if this failure is not corrected. the truck dealer had no explanation but noticed other worn parts that should be replaced unrelated to the brake failure.*ak |
