SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
BOTH BRAKE LINES TO THE REAR WHEELS HAVE CRACKED, LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES AFTER THE FLUID LEAKED OUT. PEBBLES CONTINUALLY GET WEDGED BETWEEN THE REAR CALIPERS AND WHEEL RIMS, CAUSING WHEEL LOCKUP, AND SCOURING OF THE ALUMINUM RIMS AND ROTORS. THE RIGHT REAR TOP CALIPER BOLT FELL OUT, ALLOWING THE CALIPER TO ROTATE FORWARD AND LOCK UP THE WHEEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT DESIGNED TO TRAVEL ON A GRAVEL LANE, BUT WHERE WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI ARE THERE NOT GRAVEL LANES? THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM , AND DEALERS IN RANCHING COUNTRY ARE GETTING A FLOOD OF COMPLAINTS, AND HAVE EVEN DESIGNED ROCK SHIELDS FOR THE REAR DISC BRAKES. IT IS A VERY LARGE SAFETY PROBLEM, FOR IF THE BRAKES DO NOT COMPLETELY FAIL THEY ARE IMPAIRED DUE TO SCOURED ROTORS, ETCHED WHEELS, AND DETERIORATED PADS. *JB
