#709275July 27, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE TRUCK HAS A SEVERE BRAKE PULL TO THE RIGHT, WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE BRAKE PULL OCCURS AT ANY SPEED, BUT IT IS MOST PROMINENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEREFORE PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE FOUR TIMES IN NINE MONTHS ON THIS ISSUE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM IN AN EXPEDIENT MANNER.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED BY SANDUSKY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, SANDUSKY, OH, FOR THE PREVIOUS AXLE FAILURE. TRAVELING EAST ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED, LIKE SOMEONE JUST JAMMED-ON MY BRAKES. WITHIN A MINUTE, THERE WERE TWO VERY LOUD SCREETCHES. MY WIFE, TRAVELING IN A RENTAL VEHICLE BEHIND ME, EVEN HEAR THE SCREETCHES. GIVEN OUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE TRYING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, WE WERE INFORMED BY CONSTRUCTION CREWS THAT WE COULD NOT STAY, THERE, ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THEY DIRECTED US A COUPLE MILES UP THE ROAD, TO THE NEXT EXIT. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY, WE STOPPED TO FIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL STICKING OUT FROM THE FENDER BY A COUPLE INCHES. ON CLOSER INSPECTION, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE BACKING PLATE. THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING, AGAIN. WE CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK, TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP. UPON THEIR INSPECTION, THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE AGAIN BURNED. AND, YES, THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND AXLE SHAFT WERE LEAVING THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY TRUCK BRAKES PULL SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN ALL RAM 2500 4X4 TRUCKS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED ROTORS; CALIPERS;ALIGNMENT; ETC. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 9 TIMES (I HAVE DOCUMENTATION) ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RELIEF. DEALER NOW REFUSES TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM. BRAKES PULL TO RIGHT HARD ENOUGH TO SLIDE TRUCK SIDEWAYS ON WET PAVEMENT. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT FASTER ON RIGHT FRONT - THERE HAS BEEN EVIDENCE OF THE RIGHT ROTOR GETTING HOT (BRAKES DRAGGING). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN A LARGE TALL AND HEAVY TRUCK! ALL DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO REPORT PERIODIC OR CONTINUOUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES. *AK
