- Filed Feb 10, 2005Failure Feb 10, 2005NEW London, OHService brakes, Antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
I PURCHASED A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH TWO DEXTER 8,000# AXLES ON IT IN JUNE, 2003. SINCE THEN THE MAGNETS THAT OPERATE THE ELECTRIC BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED AT LEAST 7 DEFECTIVE MAGNETS ON THIS TRAILER. WHEN THE MAGNET FAILS I HAVE NO BRAKES ON THE WHEEL WITH A DEFECTIVE MAGNET. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND AM AFRAID OF THIS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT FOR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE THROWN AWAY MANY OF THESE DEFECTIVE MAGNETS, BUT HAVE THE MOST RECENT DEFECT HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT. NOTE: THE FEATHERLITE INFORMATION BELOW IS NOT CORRECT. I ONLY ENTERED IT BECAUSE MY TRAILER MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AN OPTION. IF YOU NEED MORE DETAILS ON THIS I WILL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE THEM.*AK
