The dealer stated that my truck was not covered by the recall of the wiper control board. The braking problem I am having is that I have had to replace the front pads 5 times and the rotors 3 times in 36,000 miles. The rear brakes do not seem to be working at all. For some reason the front brakes are doing all the braking work and worp/crack the rotors. …”
