Consumer Description

TWO TIMES ON 3/2/12 I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE THE TRUCK ACCELERATED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON WET ROADS SO I COULD SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH WITH THE BRAKES WHILE THE TIRES WERE BURNING TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN GOT IT STOPPED. LATER THE SAME DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME THE ROAD WAS DRY AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED THE BRAKES I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO STOP BEFORE HITTING A CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I GOT IT INTO NEUTRAL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK! I CALLED A DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. OF COURSE THEY ADVISED I COULD BRING IT IN FOR AN INSPECTION THAT COST A LARGE FEE REGARDLESS IF THEY FIND AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT. *TR
