Description of the problem | I have taken the truck to the dealership shop twice regarding the squealing brakes. The first time they said there was a recall on the front brakes and they replaced them at no cost. I had to pay for the rear brake replacement. I took the truck back two weeks later because of the same squealing. They said the only thing they could do was to spray on some kind of metal coating. They said i would have to come back because it would take several hours to dry. If they just replaced defective brakes, why would i have to accept them spraying something on them instead of fixing the problem. My husband has this same truck and his brakes squeal too. |
