What owners wrote
When driving the truck and coming to a stop sign, pressed on the brake pedal heard a clunking noise. Took vehicle to dealer and changed the ABS dump valve, but the noise has begun again.
Uneven front brake application. Medium brake pressure energized right front only causing severe right steer. Heavy brake pressure energized both front brakes only to leave left front brake locked. Problem occurred gradually and progressively worsened to danger level, especially on wet or loose surfaces. Inspection determined the left front brake hose support clamp had been over compressed in manufacturing causing gradual compression of the inner hydraulic line to the point of virtual closure.
