ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES LOCK UP. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST TIME THE ABS WENT OFF AND BRAKES RELEASED. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2006 WHEN THE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAD THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM RESET AND I ADDED AN EXHAUST BRAKES TO HELP WITH THE BRAKING. THIS COST ME AROUND $5,500. THE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 10,200. JANUARY 7, 2008 THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN, THIS TIME CAUSING MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, PADS, AND WHEEL SENSORS, HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON ALL WHEELS. THE ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER THIS TIME IS ABOUT $5,500. I NOW HAVE 17,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED AN INCIDENT REPORT. I CAN NOT GET PAST CUSTOMER SERVICE. DESPITE PROMISES AND MY REPEATED CALLS, NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY WILL BE KILLED DRIVING THESE TRUCKS. *TR
