Description of the problem | I had to have the ball joints replaced 6 months after i bought the truck. The dealership said that my wheels were getting ready to fall off and the truck was to dangerous to drive. Then the transmission went out in august of 2003. I barely had 50,000 miles on it. The brakes on it are terrible. When it is raining i hydroplane just about ever time i put on the brakes. The anti lock brake system is not working properly. The light is now on. The speedometer is now broken. It stays at zero most of the time but will occasionally jump up and down while driving. The electric door lock makes a horrible sound when it locks. Last but not least whenever i drive on the interstate and go over 60 mph the engine makes a rattling noise. *jb |
