NHTSA complaint #10725663, filed 2015-06, 63,370 miles“Incident 1: I was driving through a parking lot and applied the brake. Once the brake was applied, the brake pedal pushed back at me as if the ABS system had been activated, and there was a loud sound that I know to be caused by the ABS system being used. Luckily, when this happened I was about to pull into a parking spot and it had a curb.

I noticed that my emergency brake light, vdc off light, and my slip light were all illuminated. …”

I had to turn the truck off and as I sat there I heard a noise under the dash, like something reset itself. …”
