| Description of the problem | Incident 1: i was driving through a parking lot and applied the brake. Once the brake was applied, the brake pedal pushed back at me as if the abs system had been activated, and there was a loud sound that i know to be caused by the abs system being used. Luckily, when this happened i was about to pull into a parking spot and it had a curb. Knowing that my brakes were partially compromised, i slowly entered the parking stall and needed minimal braking. I noticed that my emergency brake light, vdc off light, and my slip light were all illuminated. At this point i turned off the vehicle and walked around it looking for any evidence of a brake fluid leak or anything out of the ordinary. I didn't see any brake fluid or any fluids or contaminants on the brake discs. I returned several minutes later and turned on the car and it performed as normal for about a week and dismissed it as an unusual one time fluke. One week later, i had a very similar incident detailed below. Incident 2: again, i was going through a parking lot at less than 10 mph, and was about to pull into a parking space. This time, it did not start until i was pulling into the space, so i had no warning that i would have a hard time stopping. Luckily, i had a curb at the end of my parking space. Once i felt the kick back i immediately pressed on the brake as hard as possible and slowly came to a stop a few inches away from the curb. I then saw the same warning lights the same as before. Dealership visit: at this point, i knew it wasn't a one time thing and took the truck to the dealer later that day. They told me my delta stroke sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. I have not had it fixed yet, and do not know if this is a permanent fix. I have seen several others with this same problem, just more significant. Definitely will be a long time before i feel safe driving this truck again. |
