Consumer Description
Was driving vehicle on a rock road, when rounding a slight curve in the road, the antilock brake system light and the traction control lights both illuminated at the same time. The rear end of the truck began to slide due to having light pressure on the brakes and I was pulling my fifth wheel camper. Fortunately there were no injuries or damage to the truck or the camper. I washed off the mud when I got back to a hard surface area that had a car wash available and continued on my journey. Approximately 30 more miles later on the same trip both warning lights came on again. I immediately pulled over to read the message warning that was up on the dash to see if I could continue with my journey or not. After reading the message on the display in the truck, I decided it would be safer not to continue with my journey with that truck due to the safety issues and possibility of injury or death to me and my passengers, or another vehicle that I may encounter either head on or from behind. I had a friend of mine bring his fifth wheel truck to pick up my camper and return it back to my home. I had to cancel my camping trip for that week, which cost me approximately $400 out of pocket and then I had to pay my friend gas money to bring my vehicle home for me. I placed a call to the dealership nearest me and they advised me it would be $1,000 to begin any sort of diagnostic procedure on the I have now been driving the vehicle only unladened with any sort of extra payload, the light will come on and go off and come on and go off multiple times some days no times other days. I am retired, and a long-term covid patient, I do not have the financial resources to take a vehicle to a dealership to have them charge me absorbent amount of money when this clearly should be a safety recall on this vehicle. I have lost use of the vehicle for the intended purpose of telling my camper and boat, the manufacturer needs to be advised of this and give everybody repairs to make it safe to use.
