Consumer Description

CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH FRONT BRAKES. IN JULY 06, ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 35,552 MILES ON THE TRUCK (SEE ODI #10200119). IN MARCH 07, THE NEW ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED AT 44,6295 MILES (SEE OD #10200122). IN MAY 07, VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END RETURNED AND THERE WAS A STRANGE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AT 50,230 MILES (SEE ODI #10200127). I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 17 MILES (ALL HIGHWAY MILES). WHEN I STOPPED, SMOKE WAS ROLLING OUT OF THE FRONT LEFT SIDE AND THERE WAS A STRONG BRAKE ODOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. TECHNICIAN INDICATED IT WAS STICKING CALIPERS. TECHNICIAN REPLACED FRONT LEFT CALIPER. TOTAL COST $121. (NOTE - DEALER DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR LABOR ON CALIPER REPLACEMENT.) *TR
