When rotating my tires at 29,000 miles, i inspected the front disc brakes on my truck. I noticed that ton both front wheels. The disc brake pads were only touching the rotors in an area of 1/2" on the inside of the rotors. I took the truck to the dealer and they said it wasn't covered by the warranty because it had more than 25000 miles. I had to replace the rotors and brake pads at my own expense of $400. *tr

While braking hard for a turn i came up on quickly, and as i approached slower speeds, the anti lock braking system completely released allowing the truck to surge forward. I was just beginning my turn and i believe there was a small amount of sand on the roadway that caused a wheel to slide momentarily but all the brakes released in a manner that could have caused an accident if there was a vehicle in front of me.…

On a 2005 truck with 20,000 miles on and it's a babied truck the brake rotors appear warped as it has a wave like braking. Even worse when braking on a surface with poor contact, sandy, sand on concrete or blackop, wet cement the anti-lock brakes completely release and the truck jumps forward like no brakes are applied 15 ft. Or so. I'd much rather have no anti-locks because at least i can use a stabbing motion if…

Purchased 2005 brand new from dealer. I am familiar with what to do to break-in a new vehicle. I occasionally cross a mountain, and when i apply the brakes lightly, they immediately start to pulsate very noticeably. To get them to stop pulsating, i must apply the brakes fairly hard. This happens all the time on hills/mountains. I was hoping that this would work itself out with time. I presently have 21,000 miles on…
