�takita recall � several times I have taken my pickup to the dealer for a cling, spring sound when you are apply brakes. And the engine has loud ticking sound . The first time they said it was how the vehicle was made. There is a noise coming from the front end especially when you are on a bad road disclose they cant hear anything. Took it back again they said they can't find nothing even to the brake noise that they said was a part of how the vehicle was made. They take your vehicle have it for two days then pretend to work on it then give it back to you and never find anything. Then you the customer have to experience these annoying unsafe experiences. You get so discouraged because they never can find anything and when they do is how the vehicle is made then by the time you keep going back and with the same respond the warranty is close to end. Last time I took the pickup in was January 28,2019 and they returned it on the 30th with no document to what they did.
