Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The vehicle has extremely grabby brakes and i feel that they contributed to the loss of control i experienced on slippery road surfaces. As i attempted to gently slow down by applying the brakes i lost the back end of the vehicle resulting in a loss of control. The road conditions were not favorable, but i have driven may other vehicles in much worse conditions without experiencing this issue. I feel that probability of losing control of the vehicle would have been greatly reduced if the brakes were not grabby. |
