When positioning my truck to hook up my 5th wheel camper I lost my brakes. There was no warning of any kind and I wasn't sure until I got out and saw the puddle . Even after moving the truck an losing more fluid there was still no warning. I hate to think if had hooked up and been down the highway when corroded metal lines blew out!.
Hydraulic:antilock during low-speed brake applications the brakes push back and don't not stop the truck the power steering also cuts out when this happens.
Anti-lock braking system consistently engages when at slow-speed stopping (5-8 mph). Problem started at the 40,000 mile mark. Dealer informed that there is a recall on the issue but my VIN does not qualify.
