Filed Sep 9, 1998 · Brakes · AZ

Brakes are spongy and have long stopping distances. The anit-lock system kicks in the pedal drops to the floor losing most of the stoping power and has locked up the back wheels. Causing control lost of the truck while going around corners. The system will also engage when the truck hit a bump during normal braking also causing long stopping distance and loss of control. Not yet had a total failure of brake system.
