Description of the problem | The breaks on my 2008 dodge nitro keep locking up completely while i'm driving down the hwy. Which causes my truck to come to a abruptly forcefule stop. Especially when i'm traveling at speeds of 65 or more. I can get the brakes to release by unhooking my battery for about 10 minutes. Long enough for the system to reset. My brake pads are slightly worn . My abs light is also on / on my dash. |
