What owners wrote
I have had two major problems with this truck. My first issue was very dangerous in my opinion. The cam sensor went out which caused my truck to suddenly stop while I was driving it. Every system shut down including brakes. More than once I was going 70MPH and it suddenly stopped - I had to guide myself to the shoulder and stop the truck with no brakes. Very very scary! I had the truck to several dealers al told me they had no idea what was wrong.
The braking system on the vehicle began to perform poorly. When taken to the garage, they stated that the rotors appeared to be made out of a defective steel. That what was happening to the braking system should never have happened if the steel wasn't defective.
