| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The abs brake system when braking and you hit a bump, pothole or depression the brakes go into anti lock and do not come out. it takes about 1/3 more distance to stop. this is especially bad on snow and ice. when traveling with other pickups in upper canada the other trucks could stop on snow but i would go by them by about 25-30 ft. i had one accident where i was approaching a stop sign at a t in the road and the highway was slippery and i hit a bump as i was stopping. instead of stopping i just slowed and could not make the turn i hit a tree. $20,000 damage to truck. on the interstate i78 i was following traffic which came to a halt for contruction work i was unable to stop and had to pass a car on the right birm of the road. this problem has occured several times with mysel and my son driving. it is very dangorous since your normal stopping distance is suddenly increased and there is nothing you can do. |
