Hayes 81790 Genesis Proportional Self-Leveling Brake Controller

I like this brake controller for it's ease of use requiring minimal setup. The only down side I found was that it didn't come with the mating connector and pigtail, so I had to cut off the connector and wire it direct.

plug and play works great for my trailer will save the brakes on my truck.

Easy install but manual brake button is poorly secured. It popped off the first time I used it and was a bear to get back on. If you use it be VERY gentle.

Its price and for camper.

This unit did fail after about 4 years. However, Hayes is an outstanding company, and they immediately worked with me to get this unit replaced!! A good product combined with great customer service. However, I would prefer something not fail, but if it does, it is nice to know they have my back.

I bought this product in 2009. Easy to adjust and worked great with my 32' 5er. Something went wrong with it so contacted Genesis for more assistance. The help I received was a new controller. What a great company to do that after 7 yrs of use.

Tried to call them no one home . sent email nothing yet . One locks brakes up no mater what setting it shows 80% . Other one randomly lights brake lights so I unhooked that got a nice run home @20k # with no trailer brakes . I liked first one so much I got second one, well now looking for other company . Update they called me back . Told me there sending me a new one . One on other pickup was got used so not replaced .

Purchased this about 2 years ago locally. I really liked it at first, did everything it was supposed to but after the first year it started acting up......first the breaks started sticking, we unplugged it, let it set awhile and then plugged it back it. Worked fine again for awhile and then the same thing over and over again! Finally it stopped doing it and instead decided to start breaking hard, I would look at the unit and it would be up in the high 40's and sometimes over 50? I'm only pulling a small 2 horse trailer and could barely tap the brakes it was grabbing so bad, it was getting dangerous! That's when I pulled over and said, enough is enough! Unplugged it and put it in the junk pile! I would have thought this unit would have lasted longer than it did for what it cost. Maybe it was just my luck on this particular model? That being said, No, I would not purchase another one.
