Description of the problem | Brake failure - anti-lock brakes failed - preventing car from stopping. I was pulling into a dirt parking lot - stepping on the brakes - anti-lock brakes kicked in, brake pedal became hard and wouldn't press down anymore - truck wouldn't not slow down. I was heading towards trees - i immediately took my foot completely off the brake pedal and stepped on the brake as hard as i could - truck stopped just short of the trees.. I have ran into similar situation in snow - definitely still a major brake problem. Also rotors were warped at 17k miles. We also had a major problem after leaving the truck at the airport for a week - it felt like the calipers were extremely warped and metal on metal grinding - - this scared my wife and kids really badly.. It took at least 3 miles for the brakes to feel a little better.. I shut off my truck - got out - closed the doors and the doors wouldn't lock. I could see a error on the dash board showing the car remote. I tried several times to lock the door and kept getting the same error. I got back into the truck and restarted it - then shut it off - got out and the doors would lock. The dealer already did the service bulletin update for the anti-lock brakes in march - and it evidently didn't work. I have had numerous problems with the remote - getting in to the truck and starting the truck. I have had times i remote started the truck, then couldn't get in.. I had to hit the lock and unlock key several times before i could get into the truck.. Then the truck wouldn't allow me to hit the power button - stating wrong key id.. |
