Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Whenever it rains, water seems to splash on the braking surfaces due to normal driving in these conditions. the problem is when you apply the brakes for approximately 1 - 2 seconds you have no braking action. unless you ride the brakes to keep them warm and dry, you basically have no brakes until that water film is evaporated due to friction. this is not just a once in a lifetime happening. i felt this problem everytime it rains. you do not have to go through a puddle, just the spray off the wet road is enought to experience this problem. *ak (dot number: 4mvv tiresize: 195-50r15)
