| When i press on the brake pedals on a sudden stop on bumpy roads at speeds over 30 mph, the brake pedal does not depress. the brake pedal vibrates and the vehicle does not stop properly. it takes the truck a longer time to stop than normal. this almost casued me to rear end cars on more than one ocassion. i had to take my foot of the brake pedal and reapply pressure to get firm brake pressure. when the brake pedal vibrates, it gives a false sense of abs working but the truck stops slower than if it were the abs. sudden stops on bumpy roads are very dangerous. *ak | |||
