This model was recalled due to the rear brakes failing in such a way. I believe that it should be recalled again but for the front brakes. The brake line was rubbing against the axle causing it to eventually break. In the area I was traveling I could have been seriously injured if truck was at a higher speed. Of course the dealer feels no remorse and does not care about the safety of it's customer's. It's funny how they are wanting to speak with you while you purchase it, but afterwards they no nothing about the truck and it was not their fault. I'm still waiting for the part and it is 9-18-01. Seems the part is hard to find.

I applied my brakes to slow the truck going down a hill. The brake pedal went to the floor and the engine shut off. By applying extreme pressure I was able to slow the truck and eventually stop it by driving off the road into the grass. Looking at the truck the next morning showed a worn rubber hose in the brake line. The rim of the right front wheel had rubbed a hole in the line. It appeared there was a bent bracket that supports the brake line and that's what allowed the line to "get into" the wheel. I haven't run over any debris that could cause the bracket to bend and the truck hasn't been in any accidents. It's my opinion, that if a brake line is to be mounted that close to the wheel, it should be well shielded or secured with hardware that could not be so easily deformed and allowing the brake line to move toward the wheel. The wheel only touches the line when the wheel is turned all the way to the left. The left front brake line is about an inch or inch and a half from the left wheel and is not worn. This is a serious safety defect in my opinion, as I was driving on mountain roads the day before the incident. The sharp curves on the mountain roads is probably where the damage occurred as there were many sharp curves where I had to turn the wheel as far left and right as I could to make the curves.
