WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A STOP, PEDAL IS HARD AND WILL NOT GO DOWN. IF I KEEP MY FOOT ON PEDAL EVENTUALLY IT STOPS BUT IT REQUIRES LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING MAKES HUMMING, MOANING NOISE UNTIL ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND PROBLEM STOPS. BRAKING BECOMES EASIER. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD THIS MAY CLEAR UP ABS/BRAKING SITUATION. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. SHOWS HALF TANK WHEN NEAR EMPTY. AS FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN, GAUGE GOES UP.FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

HAD TRIED TO START VEHICLE THE 1ST TIME & IT FAILED TO CATCH. RETRIED THE 2ND TIME & FINALLY CAUGHT. WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR IN STARTING VEHICLE.

THE COMPUTER CHIP WAS ALSO REPLACED. IN ADDITION, PCV HOSE WAS NOT INSULATED & THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER WAS NOT WORKING. *AK
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BUILT WITH A CANDELA VALUE GREATER THAN 3,000 CANNOT BE MOUNTED HIGHER THAN 864MM ABOVE THE ROAD SURFACE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED WIRING HARNESS THAT CHANGES THE DRL'S FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM DRL'S, AND INSTALL NEW LONG-LIFE LOW BEAM BULBS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DRIVE OR ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE. ONE OR BOTH OF THE ATTACHING NUTS FOR THE RIGHT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM ARE UNDER TORQUED. THIS CAN ALLOW THE ATTACHMENT BOLT TO LOOSEN AND SUBSEQUENT BREAK RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FROM THE FRAME.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND RETIGHTEN THE RIGHT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM NUTS TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATION.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES. A FATIGUE FRACTURE OF THE REAR AXLE RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE CAN OCCUR CAUSING A SLOW BRAKE FLUID LEAK RESULTING IN A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE BRAKE PIPE BREAKS, THE DRIVER WOULD EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN DROP IN THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, AND THERE WOULD BE A LOSS OF REAR BRAKE PERFORMANCE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE BRAKE PIPE.
