“When I bought the truck used (85000 mls)it had a bad front end idler link and a bad A/C clutch bearing. Not long after I bought it I had to replace the alternator. I also noticed that the brakes didn't stop the vehicle like they should and I was scared to let my wife drive it because of the spongy brakes. I took it in several times to different shops and also the dealer to have them look at the brakes and was always told that the brakes on this model were just that way. I put new rotors and pads on the front and new rear drums and shoes and repeatedly bled the system with slight improvement. …”
