2011 Dodge Charger service brakes problems

“The Anti-Lock Brake module has prematurely failed in the vehicle. The dealership can and will inspect the fault but they will say they are not trained or authorizes to fix the module. I was directed to an ABS module rebuilder and was simply told by the rebuilder that they could not fix it due to a computer chip shortage. The problem has been reproduced many times as seen with the RAM truck recalls on their anti-lock brake modules. The component has not been inspected. There is active warning lights as shown in the picture below. Ive spun out in the rain multiple times at less than 30mph due to the ABS module not activating traction control. It is extremely dangerous.”

“ABS Wiring had a recall and replaced but the ABS Module is now out Air Bag had a recall but now the air bag clock spring is out Fuel Pump had an extended warranty but is now out and fuel pump needs replaced Crank shaft main bearing seal needs rplaced for an oil leak but other parts have been replaced for an oil leak within the past month”

“BRAKE PEDAL OCCASIONALLY WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. NO WORK DONE THAT WOULD ALLOW AIR INTO THE SYSTEM. NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A LEAK AND MASTER CYLINDER IS FULL OF FLUID. NO SPECIFIC DRIVING HABITS ARE EVIDENT WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF WHEN PEDAL IS FORCIBLY DEPRESSED AND OCCURRENCE MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS.”
