This truck was bought new. Steering sector was loose, and tightened. Transmission burned out. Now front brakes are shot. Cruise control does not engage or disengage (intermittently) when steering wheel is in full down tilt position. Smell of burning rubber since new when used for extended periods at highway speeds. Now it has severe grooving on inside of both front brake rotors. Brake inspection at 31,044 miles, all okay. At 44,388 problem was discovered. Back drum brakes are 25% used. Documented with service records.
