Anti-lock brakes engage on dry pavement just prior to coming to a complete stop.
Approaching a stop light of a 55 mph road and applied the brakes. The truck failed to stop. I went through the red light but did not hit any other cars.
The truck would not stop at stop sign and the brake goes clear to the floor before slows to a stop.
Front abs activates while trying to stop. This is covered by many recalls. My vehicle is not included although it has the exact symptoms.
Started my vehicle so could move it in front of my garage. When I tried to turn the steering wheel wouldn't move and I had very limited braking power. It took an exceptional amount of pressure on the brake pedal just to stop the vehicle at a very low speed. Thankfully no one was hurt and no property damage occurred.
Experience unwanted antilock brake system (abs) activation. This can cause increased stopping distances during low-speed brake applications, which could result in a crash.
