Description of the problem | My pickup started, i pulled out on road and sped up to 35 mph, when i stepped on brakes to slow down they were unresponsive, so i began pumping. They felt very hard to pump and were not slowing the truck down. Lights came on saying service brakes etc. As i coasted to try to slow down off side of road. I had to keep pumping the brakes down to floorboard and i? M not sure they were even working. I lost power steering and was almost involved in a serious rear-end collision. 4 messages appeared on digital dash while driving. Service esc, brake system failure 62 mph top speed, service trailer brake system, steering assist reduced. I had to press brake pedal to the floor with extremely excessive force to get truck to stop. This failure could have easily resulted in vehicle accident, or even a fatality accident. I doubt i will ever carry my family in the truck again due to this and i certainly will not allow my children to drive the truck. This is the 5th time this has happened to my truck. |
