Consumer Description

BRAKES HIT TO AVOID COLLISION. AFTER WHICH ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIT ON DASH BOARD. FEESER DODGE IN HENDERSON, NC WAS CONTACTED FOR REPAIR. PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED. I WAS TOLD AT DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT THAT WEEK LIKE MINE. THE QUESTION IS ABS BRAKES ARE DESIGNED FOR A STEADY PREASURE VERSUS THE OLD PUMPING METHOD. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WHEEL SENSOR AND WHY DOES IT GET DAMAGED WHEN HARD PRESSURE APPLIED? MY TRUCK IS USED FOR TOWING HORSE TRAILERS A SAFE RELIEABLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS MANDATORY. *AK
