When brakes were applied under normal conditions pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance, and once resulting in a collision. Dealer has inspected brakes, and was not able to duplicate or correct problem. Dealer changed brake booster.

Two weeks after I bought the truck the airconditioner broke twice, then the ABS light came on for no reason, the seatbelts were recalled and now the transmission is going out. I would like something done about this I.e. them give me a new truck or my money back. Its getting ridiculous.

Was driving 55mph & vehicle would drift left when brakes applied. Took to dealer & nothing found. Drove some more & problem was getting worse. Took it back & service manager indicated problem was with the brakes. It was drifting left. Also, would drift when steering was released & shaking. Tires were found out of balance. Firestone, wilderness ATX, 0235/75R15. Right front tire went flat & was informed ran over a nail, but it could not be produced.
