Description of the problem | My family and i were driving home pulling our travel trailer from a weekend of camping. There was approximately 2 car lengths between my self and the vehicle in front of us. Both lanes of vehicles came to a quick stop. I applied the brakes the abs started to kick in, i let of the brakes and reapplied again the abs kicked in and the peddle went to the floor. I was able to hop the curb with the truck and trail to avoid hitting the cars in front of me. It took 5 or more vehicle lengths to get completely stopped. I was able to slowly drive the 6 or so miles home using the trailer brakes only. Once the trailer was unhooked i was able to pull the truck in to my drive way to work on it. The brakes would hold the truck, the peddle was to the floor but i'm doubtful they would stop it at any speed. |
