Description of the problem | While hauling a large load of hay, i was traveling at less than 10mph as i was applying the brakes to slow the vehicle to make a right hand turn on to another road. When i applied the brakes the steering completely went away and the vehicle would not turn at all. The brake peddle was very stiff and the brakes were not very responsive. I was able to get the truck stopped as i was heading toward another vehicle on the road. After coming to a complete stop and backing the vehicle up the steering returned and i was able to make the turn. I traveled approximately 2 miles down the road to my destination at a very slow speed and when i applied the brakes to turn i lost all steering again and the brake peddle was very stiff and not very responsive. I parked the vehicle and have not moved it. |
