| Description of the problem | While driving i noticed that the vehicle was sluggish and when engaging the clutch in order to shift there was a noticeable braking feeling even though i was not touching the brake pedal. Upon reaching home i saw my front wheels/rotors/calipers smoking and the heat from the wheels could be felt almost 3 feet from the vehicle. I took my pick-up to the dealer and was told that my front calipers had frozen as well as the right rear and the left rear was just as bad but had not frozen yet and probably would. This repair required four (4) new calipers, brake pads and required the rotors to be resurfaced. The dealer said that no recall had been made for this item. |
