Air Force One Supplemental Braking System Actuates Vehicle Brakes When Not Attached to RV
Question:
Why would this happen ? The car was not being towed . Car dealer says there is nothing wrong with the vehicle it must be the airforce one system. Where do I go with this issue. Afraid to drive my explorer now for fear this will happen again.

I spoke with my contact at SMI, the manufacturer of the Air Force One braking system. He had a few possibilities that he recommended you have checked.
Where the cable that joins the actuator cylinder on the brake pedal, make sure that there's about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of slack in the cable. Also, if the vehicle has adjustable pedals, make sure that the pedals are move as close to the seat as they'll go when the tension on the cable is set. This procedure is outlined in Step 7 of the installation instructions, on page 14.
Also, check the break away pin at the front of the vehicle. If the pin isn't pushed in all the way, it would cause the brakes to actuate.
