THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN WHICH I AM SLOWING TO A STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND A "MOANING"SOUND OCCURS AS WELL AS THE TRUCK NOT STOPPING. TODAY THIS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SLIDING ALTHOUGH IS DOES TEND TO HAPPEN ON WET SURFACES IT ALSO OCCURS ON BUMPY ROADS OR STREETS. NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE CONTROL PANEL TO EVEN POINT AT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSENING ALTHOUGH TO BE FAIR SO DO OUR ROADS. *NM
