: the contact stated the am/fm radio volume control would not work. Also, when raining hard, there was a leak inside the truck that stemmed from the roof of the vehicle. Third, the undercarriage was rusted. Fourth, the hydraulic brakes were fractured. The contact heard a leak noise and when the brake pedal was depressed, it went to the floor. The vehicle was parked in an idle position and there were no prior warnings. The vehicle was towed to the service dealer, who determined the brake line was rusted, fractured and needed to be replaced.

The brakes locked up, which caused consumer to pump the brakes. The brakes would lock up when the weather was damp, when not in use for an extended period and when using four wheel drive all the wheels would lock up. This would only happen at temperatures of 32 degrees or colder. The manufacturer was notified and referred the consumer to the dealer for repairs. The transmission leaked at the rear output seal extension housing leaked at the case split silicone seal, the rear transmission seal leaked on the extended housing seal at the transfer case, the radio control had become inoperative, the wipers shorted out, and the fog light switch had gone bad.
