Braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance and noises, such as brakes "chattering" while braking. Dealer replaced the brake pads and shoes/drums and master cylinder. But, problem still exists.

After several trips to the dealership to have the problem connected to the transmission fixed, the dealership finally replaced the entire transmission. The problem presented itself when after the truck was going, when I had to stop for a light, stop sign or whatever, I would then engage the gas pedal. The truck would only inch away, when my foot was completely down on the gas. The sideview mirror on the passenger side shattered for no apparent reason, while driving on an open road. When I took the truck in to have it fixed, I was told the entire brake system would have to be replaced. The master cylinder was leaking and the shoes and pads were gone. Now my truck is currently going back to the dealership because there is a knocking noise in the steering wheel column and a buzzing noise when the fan is turned on for heat.
