    So, my boyfriend and I drive team and got this truck with only a few thousand miles on it totally excited but we’ve had it in the shop three times in less than two months because the truck’s “Park brake air low brakes may drag” warning light and buzzer goes off incessantly for no reason. Now it’s at it again and worse than ever. I just drove my whole shift with the endless beeping desperately trying to drown it out with music and my boyfriend and I are losing our freaking minds. Has anyone had a similar issue and any kind of resolution? We were told that it is an electrical issue with the sensor but apparently they are too incompetent to fix it. Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

    Noooo dont go that route yet...Do it with finess 1st cause if you piss them off next time they will not be so willing to work with you..
    Alot of the problem is that the tech is behind the 8ball cause developememt is faster.....Just try another dealer or two 1st..Then go up the chain..Keep it civil and friendly but firm..

    Living with it isn’t an option. We can’t sleep with that thing beeping incessantly. If you can, congratulations, teach me your ways.
