Consumer Description

THE INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER IS NOT WORK WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES IN ELECTRIC BRAKE MODE. TOOK MY TUNDRA OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH MY 24' 3200 LB TRAVEL TRAILER. I SET THE GAIN TO 10 AND HIT THE MANUAL SLIDE AND THE TRAILER TIRES LOCKED UP. STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND COULDN'T FEEL ANY BRAKES BEING APPLIED TO THE TRAILER. I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THE TRAILER TIRES TO LOCKUP WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES WITH A GAIN OF 10. THIS COULD MAKE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
