Description of the problem | Purchased truck new. Had highway speed shudders and vibration. Dealer said this is a common problem and it would go away by its self. On the third visit, they said that they fixed it and we left. Immediately, we turned around because the problem was not fixed. We found that the parking brake was dragging and that what was causing the shuttering and vibration. They fixed the problem and we've not had anymore issues with this until recently. We had the rear differential replaced for the slipping problem and now the parking brakes are dragging again. This is not safe and in my opinion can cause a fire. |
