“Five times I turned my truck in for repairs due to a hard pull to the left or right during braking and I finally gave up as frustration set in. Many work days lost and still I live with the same problem. The brakes are terrible and it takes for ever to stop the truck. I am afraid of what would happen in a panic stop. Also the windshield wipers work whenever they feel like.”
