abs problem
the problem i have is that when i go down a hill at a step grade about 10 mph or less and i apply the brakes no matter how hard the abs kicks in. i've been driving before and it will kick in when it doesn't need to and other times it won't kick in when it should hence sliding. i looked the truck up and theirs a recall out for it. this is what i found: Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Antilock
Defect Summary: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence Summary: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
this happened to me. i was going about 20 mph slammed the brakes and i don't remember if the abs kicked in but i do remember i had enough stopping distance but when i hit the brakes it didn't feel like the truck was really trying to stop. does any body know where the switch is and how to test it or if they had theirs that had a recall on it fixed and did it do anything? anything would help.
and i know this i deffently have: Component: Visibility: Windshield Wiper/washer
Defect Summary: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.

80% of the time they work. others they don't.
