After replacing hub assembly at les schwab brakes didn't work right when stepping down on brake it would make a sound as if they were not catching pulling car forward braking only depressed half way after a few seconds brake would let go all the down and then would return to normal I retorted to les schwab they checked brakes and found nothing wrong the said may be something was happening to suspension but it should be ok to drive it would continue off and on for a few weeks two days after thanksgiving returning…
While driving steering wheel intermittently pulled to the right. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The ball joint were completely worn out. The vehicle had never been used off road nor was it subjected to harsh treatment. The consumer only used the four wheel drive 8-10 times and feels that the ball joints should have lasted at least 100000 miles.
