The Parking Brake May Develop a Screeching Noise or Fail To Release

Pulsation On Brake Application
A pulsation may be noted upon brake application. This condition is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. Our technicians recommend inspecting both front and rear brake rotors when this condition occurs. Brake pads should be replaced along with any warped rotors to correct this condition.
Black Smoke From the Exhaust, Poor Acceleration, and/or a Rough Engine Idle may Occur
Black smoke from the exhaust, poor acceleration, and/or a rough engine idle may be a result of corrosion affecting the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve operation. Replacement of the faulty EGR valve would be required to correct this issue.
Clunk Type Noise From Steering While Turning Left or Right at Slow Speeds
A clunk type noise may be noted while turning left or right at slow speeds. Our technicians tell us this noise is commonly caused by the intermediate steering shaft, a revised intermediate shaft is available to correct this concern.
Clunk Type Noise From the Drivetrain
A clunk type noise may be noted from the drivetrain when the throttle is released and applied. Our technicians tell us the powertrain control module (PCM) software can be updated to correct this concern.
