What owners wrote
While driving the truck, depressed brake pedal to slow down. Brake pedal went completely to the floor causing the truck to run into the curb. The pedal became firmer again but later the pedal went to the floor again.
Recently, while driving down the highway, both the ABS light and brake light came illuminated on the instrument panel of my truck. The message center displayed a reading of check brake system. The brakes began to have a pulsation to them and the truck just did not want to come to a complete stop. I took my truck to a mechanical shop where they charged me to diagnose the problem causing these symptoms. Their findings with the diagnostic checks revealed a failed ABS module. No repairs have been made.
