Water pump failed.
Master cylinder failed.
The products i am reporting apply braking on a towed vehicle against the manufacturers intended power brake design. Extreme pressure is applied to a "dead" pedal, because the vehicle is not running to activate the power assist for braking while the vehicle is towed. I am concerned, because there have been reports of firewall failure, due to the repetitive high-pressure application of the brakes with this type device. Since many thousands of these systems are in use, it is of concern that vehicles using this type system are unsafe for resale. Owners may or may not know they have weakened the firewall of the vehicle by using an extreme brake pedal pressure device while towing. Are the brakes of a vehicle designed to work with the power assist inactive for long periods of time, without causing structural damage to the vehicle braking components? is this not meant to be an emergency application measure only? should the seller of a vehicle using this type extreme pressure method tell the prospective buyer that the vehicle has used a device like this, which causes structural stresses way beyond the original manufacturers intended use? there are thousands of drivers using devices like this, manufactured by several companies in the rv industry. Because there is no regulation for the braking of a vehicle towed with four wheels down, many drivers are left to use what is presented to them by aftermarket manufacturers. These extreme pressure products are not safe or sensible. It is very important for consumer safety, to evaluate the current products in this industry, before more vehicles become damaged structurally. There are tens of thousands of vehicles towed in this manner with no provision for stopping a towed vehicle if the vehicle separates from the towing vehicle. Many deaths and injury have already occurred from lost vehicles that are not equipped as trailers are, to stop if separated from the towing vehicle or stop in a safe distance. Safety is not an accident!
