Description of the problem | The oem trailer brake controller does not work as designed. There has been number or times that i came close hitting a cars. The brake controller is not supplying enough volts to stop my 17k trailer. Took it to the dealer and they said oem brake controller is working fine. When i check controller it's only supplying 6. 5 volts when the manual slide is fully engaged. This is a big problem and needs to be address before someone gets killed. By the way my trailer is brand new and works fine with ford and chevy oem brake controller. |
