NHTSA complaint #747756, filed 2001-07“The speed of the truck will vary when the problem occurs. When I apply the brakes on dry pavement and good road the truck will jerk hard to the left ,then sometimes it will not. Sometimes the brake pedal will fade clear to the floor when I go to stop at a slow speed. I had a new master cylinder put in the truck, but it still did the same thing. Some times also it will make the funny ratcheting noise like your on a dirt road and trying to stop quickly, but I will be on a good dry asphalt road. Some times I will be at a traffic light and the brake pedal will fade down to the floor. …”
