Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle had an improper brake adjustment which made the slack adjuster length different on each side of an axle. The dealership did not find any problem and the contact requested that the brake chambers be replaced and each of the service chambers must be of the same size across the vehicle's axles. Updated 10/18/2006 - the brake pedal travels past the accelerator pedal and has caused trouble while the consumer attempts to stop the vehicle.
