I started to notice my my brakes and steering components are very unsafe, my steering wheel has to much play, something inside the steering makes a loud clunking noise when I hit a bump, the brakes don't operate correctly, the truck shakes and makes the steering very difficult to control when applying the brakes due to the shaking and vibration. I was told it might be leaking hydraulic fluid. But to sum it all up today on 06-02-2020, I realized the truck is only getting worse and getting harder to steer and the brakes cause the steering to make it even harder to drive with all the shaking and pulling to the side and also I noticed the brake pedal will be really hard at times and then really light at times.
Front suspension repaired fixed but did not fixed the vibration in front tires. Front driver side hub and bearing assembly failed since I had truck(used). Had front end redone but wheel still vibrated and took it too dealership July 3, 2021 and stated the hub and bearing grinding and growling and activates abs lights. Fuel line needs replace due to rust problems and dealership stated that the pump and retaining cam are very rusted and has a spot on the pump that is wet but not soaking wet(fail dealership looking for lawsuit for fire hazard). Fuel lines are rusted so whole truck needs repair. I spent $5400 on used truck and putting more money into it with repairs due to rust, parts and labor which is stupid as some parts do not take long if dealership have tools. I don't know incident as there no accident or anything.
I was approaching an intersection on NJ state route 10 when the light turned yellow. I applied the brakes and the peddle went to about one to two inches off the floor. The truck could not stop, and went though the light as is turned red. I was able to slow down and pull into a parking lot and stop. I found fluid leaking under the truck and could see it was from a failed brake line. I called a tow truck and a mechanic. I found out that the brake line were all rusted and needed to be replaced. The rotors, calipers, brake pads, e brake cable and shocks where replaced.
