Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Continued problems with front brakes. had to replace the rotors at 35,552 miles (see odi #10200119), had to turn those rotors at 46,295 miles (see odi #10200122), had to replace front brakes at 50, 230 miles (see odi #10200127), had to replace front left calipers at 51,116 miles (see odi #10200129). two weeks after replacing the calipers, drove short distance (all highway miles). when i stopped the truck, strong brake smell coming from underneath the front end. i let the car sit for a while and continued on. now it's intermittent. calipers appear to be sticking again - intermittently. vehicle pulls and brakes feel inconsistent like they are coming on way too hard but then pulsing. *tr
