Description of the problem | About two months after purchase. The vehicle would shake when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; a service technician said the rear drums were probably out-of-round. Drums were resurfaced and brakes were good - for about two more months. Problem recurred - taken back to dealer. Shoes replaced. Brakes good for 2 more months. Problem recurred - dealer wouldn't do anything since out of warranty. Taken to an independent shop where drums and rotors were machined. Brakes were good for about two more months. Truck again shakes when brakes are applied. The problem is ongoing. *jb |
