Consumer Description

I HAVE JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF PADS FOR THE FRONT AND HAVE REPLACED THE SHOES ONCE. IN ADDITION, I'VE HAD THE DRUMS AND ROTORS TURNED. THE DEALER RESPONDS BY CHARGING ME TO ADJUST THE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THIS DONE BUT CONTINUE TO EAT UP THE FRONT BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER CHANGED TO BIGGER PADS AND ROTORS SHORTLY AFTER MY TRUCK WAS MADE BUT DEALER & MANUFACTURER ARE NOT RESPONSIVE. ALSO, THE REAR ANTILOCK DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. *AK
