DT: THE CALLER'S VEHICLE SAYS WAS SLOWING DOWN ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL 05V379000 ON THIS MODEL FOR OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT FOR 1998 MODEL YEAR. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT, BUT THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND ON FIXING IT FOR FREE BECAUSE…
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, DRIVER COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK, TRUCK TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, THE POWER VACCUM BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED, NO BRAKES AGAIN, MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AT 60,024. CJ
