Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I was towing a 6,000 pound excavator on a 20’ tilt deck trailer and rounded a turn to see a line of traffic stopped waiting on a big truck to turn. I hit the brakes and the truck didn’t start to slow. I swerved to the shoulder and pressed breaks as hard as possible and went past several cars and t boned the big truck that was turning. The only brakes it felt like i had was the trailer brakes. Very severe accident that everyone walked away from but definitely was equipment failure involved.
While traveling down a hill, about 40mph, applied brakes to stop at a T intersection, truck wasn’t slowing down. Engaged engine brake, truck wasn’t slowing. Slammed brake pedal to the floor, ABS did not engage, no vibrations, wheels didn’t lock up, held for 2-3 seconds then started to release and slam brake pedal repeatedly. Truck went through intersection, hit a lot of trees, dropped down a 6’ embankment, air bags did NOT deploy, trucks frame bent on both sides behind the cab.
