| Description of the problem | The integrated brake trailer controller to control the brakes on a trailer is not working. The brake controller fails to control the brakes on the trailer while in "electric" mode for electric brakes. It is very dangerous to rely on a brake controller to slow or stop a vehicle that is towing a load with trailer brakes that are not working. I towed our camper this last weekend with my entire family in the car and it was very dangerous to my family and others on the road. |
