Rear disc brakes are of such design that they get wet and rust, which causes them to drag. Rotors wear out prematurely due to this, causing extended braking distance.

Brakes seem to sputter when depressed heavy/light @ any speed. This problem still continues. General tire brand-rear right tire blew out the side wall on freeway @ 75mph-ran over nothing. Right rear tire was replace @ no cost, due to failure. Problem has not accured yet. Steering wheel always feels loose-has been checked and service claimed "there is no problem". Also mother-in-law has a 2000 4dr ext. Cab with the same brake problems among a few others including ac vents smelling ect.
