I was driving at about 30mph, aloud humming noise started, and my ABS light came on.I turned off the ignition, but the noise continued.I found the humming noise coming from under the truck, on the drivers side, under door area.there is a black"box" with 2 electrical plugs.it was necessary to pull one of the plugs to get the humming to stop.but now my ABS light and my brake lights are on all the time on dash.took the truck to original dealership, and was told that the ABS pump and module both went bad.I was told that the cost to repairs would be $1685.66.I just can't believe that both parts went bad.the truck is only 2 years old.now I am driving with my truck in this condition, because I don't have enough available cash on hand to have the repairs done.(2) both drivers side and passenger side windows rattle when they are down.it doesn't matter how far down the windows are.I'm waiting for them to break.it sounds as if they are ready to fall off the track.this has been a problem since I purchased the truck.I told the dealer about it, but nothing was ever done to correct the problem.(3)also, on the front passenger door, there is an air leak when I am driving, again told dealer, and nothing was done.(4)on the third door on right side, rear, water leaks in around glass.took it back to dealer, & was told they couldn't find the reason for the water leak.still continues to leak, when it rains or I wash the truck.another problem I have is with the truck hydroplaneing in the rain.this has also been going on since I purchased truck new in Feb.1999.lost total control on one occasion.truck went completely sideways on roadway.I was traveling at about 50mph.,in a 60mph zone.I was in traffic at the time, the other vehicles around me realzed the situation, and backed off giving me room.when I finally regained control, I pulled off of the highway.I was very badly shaken from the experience (tiresize: P265-75R16)( dot number: Tire size: P265-75R16 )
My vehicle dies while driving down the road, is very hard to start, right and third door had air and water leak, my truck also has a clanking noise underneath frame.
