SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE APPLYING URGENT BRAKING AT FULL PEDAL FORCE DUE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE CHANGING LANES IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT A MUCH LOWER SPEED, THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO FUNCTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID FOR TWO TO THREE SECONDS OVER AN UNKNOWN DISTANCE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE SECONDS APPLYING FULL FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SKIDDING, THE PEDAL SUDDENLY RELEASED ALL RESISTANCE AGAINST THE DRIVER'S FOOT AND WAS ABLE TO BECOME FULLY-DEPRESSED AGAINST THE FLOORBOARD/FIREWALL OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE MOMENT OF THE EVENT, THE VEHICLE GAVE A VIOLENT SHUDDER AND ALL BRAKING POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD WITHOUT BRAKES UNTIL STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND COMING TO A FULL STOP, RESULTING IN MULTIPLE INJURIES AND A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. POST-COLLISION, THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE PEDAL WAS ABLE TO BE PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOORBOARD/FIREWALL OF THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE SPEED WHEN BRAKING WAS INITIATED WAS BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MILES PER HOUR. POLICE RESPONDING TO THE COLLISION ESTIMATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR AT THE FINAL POINT OF COLLISION WITH THE SECOND VEHICLE INVOLVED ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT. *JS

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE TIPM HAS FAILED ON THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND ONE HAPPENED IN 2013. THE THIRD TIME IN DEC OF 2015. ALL THREE TIMES THE MOTOR QUIT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF. THE TIPM BOX THEN STARTED SMOKING. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, I WAS DELAYED BY HEAVY TRAFFIC IN GETTING TO THE BATTERY CABLES. THE TRUCK WAS ON A STEEP GRADE. THE HORN STARTED HONKING, WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD SPRAYER ACTIVATED, AND THEN THE VEHICLE TRIED TO START ITSELF AND MOVE FORWARD. IF I HAD BEEN UNDER THE HOOD, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER. ALSO, THIS TRUCK WAS PULLING A TRAILER ON A MOUNTAIN PASS WITH NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, OR TRAILER BRAKES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND MADE THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
