Had to disconnect the anti lock brake so I could stop. When driving slow and pressing on the brake pedal, the pedal is solid and does not move. Very dangerous. Cannot stop the vehicle at all. Brake lines rotted out. Has to replace. Transmission lines rotted out. Had to replace. Transmission oil cooler rotted out. Had to replace. Fuel lines are rotting out. Not replaced yet. Drive shaft is questionable. Severely rusted. Rear backing plates rotted off, no more parking - emergency brake. Check engine light will not go out. Replaced catalytic converter many times with no results. Engine leaks oil. Loosing coolant, possible burning it. Fuel mileage is terrible. Body rusted out. Rocker panels are gone. Cab corners are gone. Rear bumper is gone. Putting the spare tire underneath is a stupid idea. The cost to replace these parts is too expensive. For what these vehicles cost new all of these parts should be made out of stainless steel or use plastic for the fuel lines and brake lines. The check engine light being related to a pollution control device should be entire covered by the manufacturer. These parts and whatever is upstream that caused the pollution control part to fail should be covered by the manufacturer in perpetuity. Anti lock brakes should be removed from all cars. The parts are too expensive to replace. The cost should not be on the shoulders of the car owner.

Farm broke on the drivers side and is cracked on the passenger side. This truck has not been involved in a collision. This was discovered by a repair shops when I was having a flat tire fixed.
