What owners wrote
While coming down a hill put foot on brakes, and it felt like pushing on a brick wall. Consumer proceeded through a stop sign. Consumer has to press brake down twick before vehicle will stop. The brakes failed twice. The steering column makes a grinding noise when turning. Horn failed. Keyless entery failed. Door locks failed. Interior lights failed. The fan in the front end is very loud. The speedometer is inaccurate. The power steering pump shaft broke.
Took the truck into a local goodyear store to have a whining noise diagnosed. The technician could not hear the noise and turned the wheel in one direction. When he tried to turn it back, it would not turn. He proceeded to replace the power steering pump and advised us that the shaft on the power steering pump had just snapped or broken. The power steering pump was replaced, and we retained the old power steering pump.
