What owners wrote
Accident ron a major highway. There was a sudden stop in traffic. We were a least at an eight second following distance. When we try to stop the rear passenger tire locked up. Our truck slammed into a full sized truck which then in turn crashed into a minivan. Damages totaled over $15,000 this is the second major accident with this vehicle.
The front disc brake rotors separated from the mounting bracket, and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately when the pad was depressed. This resulted in extended stopping distance. (the right side front disc brake rotor)
