What owners wrote
While driving 30 MPH, the ABS system engage. The driver applied the brake pedal, and the vehicle failed to stop completely. This caused the vehicle to collided into a tree. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the front suspension hub needed to be replaced. Please provide further details. The consumer was told that the failure of the front hubs on his vehicle was a common problem and requires complete replacement of both front hubs.
Slowing down to park, pushed brakes, pedal went to the floor. Barely stopped before pinning someone between my vehicle and another truck. Rear brake line burst below driver seat, brake fluid puddle under truck. Upon inspection, all 4 brake lines running along the frame totally rusted, about to burst. Need to replace all lines on whole truck. On the flatbed towtruck, noticed the driver rear leaf spring where it wraps around the bushing was missing the top half.
