   The older spring based systems had performance issues, and an insufficiently well designed and implemented system can be nonfunctional and undrivable. The problem with these spring based systems happens as follows: As the towing vehicle brakes, the trailer travels forward, sliding the mechanism, for a distance before trailer braking begins.
