I've lost brakes on a number of times trying to stop. In all kinds of weather and at various speeds from 5mph or less to 65mph. I had 2 recalls done. It was only a band-aid for the problem. A year after this recall, my vehicle now needs brakes again, this after I just had it inspected two months ago. I know how to drive and hhandle a vehicle with ABS brakes, I had a ford with ABS brakes and never had any problems and I never had to replace the brakes. Thank you rickey dean weese.
