    Did anyone have a problem where you could not slow down your piterbild 579 truck.
    My driver is driving 2016 piterbild 579 and it happened to him 3 times.After when truck was towed over to dealership and checked no faults were found.If anyone had similar problem i like to hear about it and what was the problem.
    Thanks.

    Can you give more details, like when its happening? Sometimes the abs can make it feel like your not stopping, especially in the rain with an empty trailer and brakes that are grabbing really hard.

    Did he forget to drop anchor.
    That is a scary situation for the driver and the owner. (Not being able to stop). I hope you find the problem quickly.
