What owners wrote
Brakes did not hold in any fashion. They did not even pulse as they were supposed to do. The pedal was hard, but there was no marks even in the dirt showing that the vehicle was trying to stop.
ABS on a slightly bumpy road, caused accident. I had plenty of time to stop but the ABS kept kicking in for no reason making me slide right into the guy. Truck is still damaged, 2200$ worth of repairs needed.
