Brakes: “As I was exiting the highway with a loaded trailer carrying approximately 10,000 pounds, the ABS and brake warning lights illuminated on the dash, along with a “No Trailer Brakes” notification. When I applied the brakes to slow down, there was little to no braking response. Fortunately, I was able to safely pull off the road. The truck has now been at the dealership for two weeks, and the technicians have yet to identify a solution.”
