Consumer Description

WET BRAKING PROBLEM - DURING RAIN BRAKE EFFICIENCY FALLS TO AN UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL. BRAKE SHOES SLIP ON THE DISC AND DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BRAKING. ABS DOES NOT ACTIVATE WHICH MEANS THAT TIRES DO NOT EVEN TRY TO LOCK. THIS MAKES ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS REALLY IN THE SHOE/DISC ENGAGEMENT.
