Consumer Description

DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I APPLIED MY BRAKES. BRAKES RELEASED ON MY VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO HIT THE DEER. I HAD ASKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE TO THE MANUFACTURER WHEN I NOTICED IT DONE THIS. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I TOOK THERE WORD ON THIS BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOT THE TRUCK A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS AND IT VERY SELDOM DONE IT SO I FIGURED IT WAS JUST LIKE ANTI RELEASE BRAKES TO AVOID SKIDDING OR SOMETHING. THIS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE BRAKES HAD NOT MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH IS GEICO. TO MY OPINION LOOKING BACK THERE WERE SEVERAL FAILURES BUT THIS IS THE BIGGEST. IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. *JB
