2 Air Brake Antilock problem

Failure Date: 08/09/1999

When coming upon a stopped vehicle ( approx 10 carl length ahead of my car ) I was traveling at about 25 to 30 mph when I applied my brakes to gradually slow down but all I got was a vibration from the brake pedal but no braking. I continued a firm push on the brakes but rolled into the stopped vehicle without any slowing of my vehicle. I held the pedal down solid with no pumping. The truck in front of me sustained little if any noticeable damage. I had to be towed.

The truck itself is great , however the abs engaging at inappropriate times is a harrowing experience . I've called the dealers ,and requested information about the news reports of vehicle recall, however at this time it is still being investigated . Should something happen to my son , myself , or both , I just wanted some type of record. Especially w/ the approach of winter .
