Consumer Description

THE BREAKS ON MY 2008 DODGE NITRO KEEP LOCKING UP COMPLETELY WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HWY. WHICH CAUSES MY TRUCK TO COME TO A ABRUPTLY FORCEFULE STOP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 65 OR MORE. I CAN GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE BY UNHOOKING MY BATTERY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. LONG ENOUGH FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. MY BRAKE PADS ARE SLIGHTLY WORN . MY ABS LIGHT IS ALSO ON / ON MY DASH.
