| Description of the problem | I have the laramie package which has adjustable pedals as option. There's is a bushing that the brake pedal mounts to the armthis bushing breaks or wears out and causes the pedal to swing left and right. This is a safety issue which causes your foot to slip off pedal as it swings. I have done research and this incident is not isolated to my year model. There are several right ups on this same same problem. This is not an easy fix as the steeering column has to be removed. It also is not cheap. The parts are on national back order to to the amount of pedals failing. This is a huge safety risk or concern. I have read several forums to where people have had them replaced only to have the same issue. I was stopped at a major intersection and foot slipped off pedal. Sometimes while driving and going to stop, pedal moves to the left and i have to concentrate on where my foot is to apply brakes. Please look into other similar complaints and help us get this serious issue fixed. |
