Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When towing my 13000 pound trailer, i noticed that the electronic trailer brake controller in my truck will provide sufficient braking power to stop at slower speeds. However, when a harder/faster stop, such as when i was traveling at 45-50 mph is required there is not sufficient braking to the trailer. I was not able to stop as quickly as i should have. I tested the voltage on the controller with the settings to maximum (gain at 10 and manual slider to 100%) and was only getting 7. 5 volts. The reading should be closer to 12 volts. The brakes on my trailer were inspected and are working correctly. The dealer said the controller was working as designed. This is a safety issue that the dealer is overlooking and can lead to accidents/fatalities. This seems to be an issue with the 2015 vehicles and the factory brake controller.
