Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

OUR TRUCKS ANTI- LOCK BRAKES WILL ENGAGE AND THE TRUCK WILL SLIDE AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. THE DATE INFORMATION BELOW IS APPROXIMATE.*JB
