ABS brake light and red brake light continually comes on and goes off. There seems to be no apparent thing we are doing to cause the lights to come on. We have had it to the repair shop (two different shops) and the code keeps coming back as a recalled item. Supposedly it has been fixed, but the lights keep coming on! This is annoying and we wonder if the brakes will give out sometime. We do know that three times, while sitting in a drive-thru or at road contruction, the brake pedal has gone to the floor and the vehicle started moving. Upon releasing the brake the pedal engaged correctly. We do not know if this has something to do with the problem or not. We seem to get a run-around at the dealer when we take it in for more repairs. We are trying again tomorrow and this is not the only problem we have experienced with this truck. See others listed in these complaints.
