SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY TRUCK WILL OFTEN ACTIVATE WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS, MINOR POT-HOLES, OR SLIPPERY SURFACES (AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT). HOWEVER, WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES, IT FEELS LIKE I LOSE 50% OR MORE OF MY BRAKING CAPABILITY. I'VE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OBJECTS (NO PEOPLE, THANK GOODNESS), WHEN MY BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY'VE CUT OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN, I HAVE LEARNED THAT MY STOPPING DISTANCE IS SUDDENLY GOING TO BE 2-3 TIMES LONGER! ONCE ACTIVATED, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO RETURN TO NORMAL BRAKING UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, OR UNTIL I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL! I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE SOMEONE'S DEATH! *AK
