SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE RIGHT BRAKE CYLINDER WAS STICKING CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON RIGHT BRAKE (TWO RIGHT PADS IN 50K MILES). ALSO, IN RAIN OR SNOW IT CAUSES NEAR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DESIGN OF REAR WHEEL ONLY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES IS BAD. IF YOU PRESS HARD TO GET THE ABS BRAKE TO WORK, THE FRONT WHEELS SKID. IF YOU LET OFF THE PEDAL TO STOP THE SKIDING MORE THAN ONCE, THE BRAKES FAIL AND YOU MAY NOT STOP. AT THE VERY MINIMUM, IT TAKES ABOUT TWICE THE NORMAL DISTANCE. THIS NEARLY CAUSED TWO CRASHES. IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IT SAYS WE HAVE TO MANUALL ADJUST THE BRAKES EVERY TIME YOU GET AN OIL CHANGE. YOU CAN NOT GET THE AUTO ADJUSTERS TO WORK. THIS BRAKE DESIGN IS A MESS AND DODGE WILL NOT EVEN WARRENTY THE BAD PARTS (STICKING CALIPER NOR PADS) THAT WERE REPORTED BEFORE THE WARRENTEE EXPIRED. THEY ALL ACT LIKE IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. THEY WON'T EVEN ADMIT TO A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH MY FRIENDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS.
