Description of the problem | Aprox mileage march 7k ,mileage now 12k nov 8. On the vehicle. 1st incident. March 2020. Colorado mountains getting off of the highway off ramp with a . 5percent grade downhill and 800 lb trailer. No brakes at 60mph clear skys 8pm dry pavement. Pedal had to be pushed harder and harder to get the truck to stop yet wouldnt stop untill i used emergency brake. Almost lost control due to having to correct which direction i had to go so i wouldn't hit the car infront of me on the off ramp. Dealer inspection says nothing it wrong. 2nd incident was turning on round about flat dry pavement 25 mph. Had to use e brake again to avoid collision due to soft pedal. Between 1/3and 2/3 of the distance to the floor the pedal seemed non existant again. 3red 4th 5th 6th and 7th incident. May-nov 2020 brake emergency warning comes on dash some times with or without break assist activated. Often when braking semi hard vehicle will brake as if there is oil on the brakes stopping distance becomes 20%-50% longer than anticipated even with pedal to the floor. I do not trust this vehicle. It has been back to the dealer for this issue and we had been told both times it was there that we are "using the break pedal the wrong way". This is getting to be scary for us to drive so we use the other car to take the child places. At random the brakes feel like you have to push the pedal extremely hard and or to the floor hoping the truck will stop. Reguardless of weather, load or pavement conditions. |
