While applying the brakes vehicle swerved to the right. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that rotors and calipers needed to be replaced, and replaced it twice. However, the problem recurred.
There was a squeak noise when braking. Took vehicle to dealer, and they stated that rotors needed turning. At 9000 miles dealer stated rotors were cracked. Cause was unknown.
At 9,000 miles front rotors warped due to overheating. At 16,000 miles new brakes had to be put on. At 40,000 miles, new pads and rotors were put on. The problems seems to be that the rotors are too small for the size of the truck, and the self adjustors on the back brakes do not work.
