| Description of the problem | Factory integrated brake controller does not work efficiently. With the ibc gain up to 10, the trailer brakes are not activated enough to slow the vehicle in a normal or emergency situation. The manual override slide bar barely engages the trailer brakes, it will not lock the trailer brakes as designed. Vehicle brakes begin to get to hot to slow both the truck and trailer coming down hills, extremely dangerous! |
