Well after an entire summer of being happy with the Curt Echo it started acting up in a very unsafe way towards the end of my 2 weeks trip. No settings change on the app made any difference. I even jacked up the trailer at our last camp site to see if the brakes needed adjustments (they didn't or not much) but that didn't…
We have the Echo brake controller and had the same problem until we did the following procedure and now it works great! Here is the procedure Note: we needed to decrease the max output Curt has a recommended setup procedure outlined for the Curt Echo part # C51180 that is outlined in their install instructions for this…
I know brakes, and have adjusted my TAB 320 CS-S brakes four times. The CURT Echo is plain and simple a flawed product. Sad that they continue to sell it, and that folks (like me!) have read the marketing hype and actually bought it. what a waste $$... time to buy a reliable, easy-to-use use and dependable wired brake…

When you load the app, give it permission to use your phone's position. When you first turn on the Echo unit, give it permission…

I think this issue is caused by having either too high an output setting, which sets up for the trailer weight (this would not be noticeable at higher highway speeds or too high a sensitivity setting, which adjusts the…
I also started with an Echo. And it has been replaced with a hard wired Curt due to grabbiness and locking up. We never really found the “right” way to get it to work consistently. When it would start grabbing, I would just unplug everything and replug until it would work. It often took several tries. On ours, you could…
I have the curt Echo brake controller as well. It works great at high speeds, but it is super grabby when I drive slow through towns or parking lots. I am careful to use the correct pairing after each stop. My version of the app does not request location services and it has no way to turn those on. Both settings are almost…
