ABS kicks in constantly at low speeds in dry conditions. This causes longer stopping distances. The ABS grinds or vibrates interfering with normal braking situations. Many near miss collisions at low speeds. The manufacturer should be responsible and replace all the ABS sensors. I purchased this truck brand new in 2002.
I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON A STREET THAT IS 25MH AS I BREAK TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN MY ABS ACTIVATED. ALMOST CAUSED ME A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP SO I HAD TO BREAK SO HARD MY BUT WAS ACTUALLY OFF OF THE SEAT. AND THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN SO NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE ABS FUSE OUT TO DEACTIVATE MY ABS.
TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES AS IT HAS APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP NOT GETTING GAS TO START THE CAR. SOMETIME CAN HEAR PUMP RUNNING AS I HAVE REPLACE 3-4 PUMPS SINCE 2012 OR 13. SOME TIME BEATING UNDER TANK HELPS. THERE SEEM TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SECURITY LIGHT FLASHING AND START SOMETIME WHEN IT IS RESET. SOUNDS WONDERFUL WHEN IT RUNS. CAN IT BE THE COMPUTER? TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION AFTER NOT STARTING AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN SHOW 10% FUEL PRESSURE. I PARKED WENT IN TO MAKE A PAYMENT AT A BUSINESS AND WOULD NOT START FOR 4 DAYS
