Consumer Description

SINCE 3000K MILES MY TRUCK WOULD SHIMMY/SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES TO DEALESHIP PROBLEM STILL THERE. I NOTICED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON ONCE AFTER PULLING RELEASE. HAD TO REAPPLY AND PULL AGAIN AND DID RELEASE. A WEEK LATER, E BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. AFTER PUTTING IN GEAR, FINALLY DID RELEASE. AFTER BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, AS I STARTED TO DRIVE TRUCK WAS SHAKING BADLY. I DEDUCTED E-BRAKE STICKING CAUSING SHAKING. BROUGHT TO DEALER- FOUND STUCK E-BRAKE. REPLACED ADAPTOR, ROTOR ASY-BRAKE, CABLE ASY-PARKING BRAKE. PICKED UP TRUCK-TRIED E-BRAKE AND WENT TO FLOOR, DID NOT HOLD TRUCK WHEN IN GEAR. EBRAKE NOT WORKING AGAIN AFTER JUST BEING REPLACED.
