| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The anti lock brake system deploys when towing a trailer and braking. this "moves a block" in the master cylinder, according to a mechanic, which then disables the front brakes until a mechanic resets it. i the mean time, the driver is unaware of the event, and is operating the vehicle with the 1/2 of the brakes disabled, causing uneven and inadequate braking, and extreme wear on the remaining brakes. the problem seems to be with the anit lock brake device on the master cylinder, and the added weight of a trailer when braking. (even though the truck came with the "towing package" and the trailer is equipped with electric brakes). *ak |
