| Description of the problem | I have 46000 miles on my truck and four times my rear brakes have locked up on me. I bought the vehicle used with 17000 miles so can not tell you how many times it has happened previously. It is no wonder i got a used vehicle with so low of miles. I have lost all faith in driving this truck for any kind of distance. I have been completely unable to move stranded on the road. On another occasion i had to drive fifty miles towing a trailor with vice grips crimping my brake line after i broke the caliper free and guess what they are locked up again. This is a real problem and very dangerous |
