Ongoing / intermittent problem when applying brakes in a sudden stop / emergency situation, it causes rear wheels to lock up. Vehicle been in dealer shop on two occasions, and problem still reoccurring. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
The dealer has addressed the brake issue by turning rotors/drums. 10,000 miles later im having the same problem, there seems to be a problem with braking equalization from front to rear. The rear brakes have yet to show signs of wear. Overall the vehicle is running good but it appears the few on going problems are going to cost me after warranty is over.
Whenever applying brakes intermittently it caused vehicle to surge forward. Pedal would get hard, and vehicle would continue on before stopping. Vehicle has been in/out of dealer shop on six occasions, dealer informed consumer that nothing could be found. Feel free to provide further details.
While driving in town and approaching a stop sign or light, applied brakes, left rear wheels locked up and vehicle slid. Contacted dealer, they cleaned the brakes, and couldn't find any problem. While leaving the lot, vehicle started to do the same thing. Service consultant said that wheels were supposed to lock up when wet. For now problem has been solved by making adjustments to the rear brakes.
I took the truck in and the service consultant said that the brakes were working normally eventhough the rear ones did lock up at 20 M.P.H. or slower when leaving the parking lot of their lot.
While driving, I would come up to a stop sign or light and apply the brakes and the left rear brake would lock up. I took it in and they looked at the brakes and said they were ok. I went to leave and it did it again. I went back in and told them that they were still doing it and they said that it was normal for the ABS to do that. I went back the next day and they adjusted the brakes and now they do what they are suppose to do. It could be possible that one of the self adjusters might not be working.
Brakes fail when depressed, then grab at last second. Dealer performed a brake service consisting of grinding the metallic pads but problem is worse and brakes now groan upon stop.

When applying brakes during normal braking brakes locked up, causing the truck to slide. Driver has lost control of the vehicle many times. This has happened during inclement weather, aftet the truck has set for a while. Problem was reported to the dealer. Dealer stated that problem was due to the rear brake shoes and not the ABS. Problem has not been corrected.
While driving at 70 mph and applying the brakes on wet pavement, vehicle didn't stop and went straight through a red light, and the front right wheel locked up when applying the brakes real hard while trying to stop.
While driving on a wet surface and applying the brakes, the vehicle feels as if it has lost power in the brakes. Then the brakes lock up and the vehicle skids. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.
