What owners reported
Newest filings8 OF 14 BOLTS THAT HOLD THE BODY ON FRAME BROKE.
FRONT BRAKES WOULD OVERHEAT, AND CAUSE VEHICLE TO PULL EITHER TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 10 TIMES, AND MECHANIC INDICATED THAT PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RESOLVED. DISTRICT MANAGER DROVE VEHICLE, AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. HE RECOMMENDED THAT NO MORE SERVICE WORK TO BE DONE ON THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. *AK
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE LOCKING UP WHEN CONSUMER GENTLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE / VIBRATE, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF CONTROL. HOWEVER, THE FRONT TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE WEAR DUE TO FAILURE. *YC

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
