| Description of the problem | Front brakes do not work when first applied. Brake dust is constantly coming off. Tires have been red since i have 600 miles on it. I have taken it to 3 dealers. I now have 13,000 miles on it and front brakes make a noise. Dealers told me it was a common problem but there is nothing they can do because brakes still work. I asked to have the tires replaced when it had 600 miles on it and they would not.. Still have a new truck with brake dust all over the front end and getting into the paint. |
