File date	05/09/19
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Severe braking issue - when idling downhill and in gear ("drive") vehicle cannot be stopped/brakes do not hold. Higher speeds (not attempted) would likely be a disaster. In the attached photo i am coming down our driveway idling in gear ("drive") with brakes mashed to the floor (full travel) and vehicle continues rolling forward/cannot be stopped. Truck is carrying very light load in the bed and only 1 person (the driver). I don't know if this lack of braking is caused by the steep pitch or simply inadequate brakes but whatever the cause the vehicle cannot be controlled. This is an extreme safety issue.
