After approximately 1 year the truck started releasing the breaks on its own while descending a mountain and had to reapply to engage for breaks to work this has happened at least 10 times since we bought the truck. Its was inspected at the dealership where it was bought and nothing was ever done . I was told it was normal for this to occur and nothing was wrong with the truck. Other issues are the electrical in the dash has shorts and sometimes the a/c does not work and comes on by itself. The gauges ,speedometer and and fuel gauge do not work anymore and the air bag light stays on . This truck was purchased with zero miles on it and purchased for over $ 70,000 and now only has 103,000 miles on it.
