I have had problems with the absbrakes on this vehicle 5 times the dealership told that there is nothing wrong but the front brake do not work still this truck is not safe to drive. The tranmission sounds like it if about bust in half every time you shift it from first. They said it shifts fine. Iam a certified drive train mechanic it dont shift fine.
