Consumer Description

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES IN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE, THE BACK BRAKES SEEM TO GRAB QUICKER CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOCK ON ALL 4 WHEELS. THIS CAUSES THE VEHIVCLE TO GO IN TO A UNCONTROLLED SLIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES ON HILLS OR EVEN LEVEL GROUND IN SNOWY CONDITIONS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE, THE BRAKES APPEAR TO ACT NORMAL. BUT WHEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE THE BRAKES LOCK AND PULSE, THERE IS NO CONTROLLED DEPLOYMENT OF THE PADS. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ARE THE SIZE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CALLS FOR, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I USE STUDDED TIRES ON THE REAR. AS I STATED THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205,70R-15 )
