Previous to this I've had to replace front end parts like crazy. New ball joints and I joints annually. Brakes twice a year, and it will eat up tires on the front. Also the truck will not stay aligned. …”

NHTSA complaint #10522241, filed 2013-06, 62,000 miles“Released the emergency brake when getting ready to start rolling was towing a trailer.
