2006 Dodge Ram 1500 service brakes, hydraulic problems

“THE VEHICLE IS SHUTTERING UNDER BRAKING AND WHILE APPLYING DIRECTIONAL INPUTS. ALL TIRE PRESSURES ARE 35PSI AND ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITHOUT CUPPING. WHILE BRAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING SHUDDERS WHILE APPLYING SLIGHT DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. *TR”

“THERE IS A (TSB 02-001-07 REV. A) THAT CALLS OUT A SHUDDER, BRAKING, SHIMMER... BLAH BLAH BLAH... ON LEVEL GROUND AND CERTAIN SPEEDS. MY ISSUE IS NOT ON LEVEL GROUND, MY PROBLEM EXIST ON DECLINE OF 7% WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED VERY SLIGHTLY THE FRONT BRAKES OR FRONT SUSPENSION SHUDDERS, AND SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL, IF YOU GRAB TO TIGHT ON THE STEERING WHEEL YOU MAY OVER CORRECT YOUR STEERING AND EVENTUALLY COULD CAUSE YOU TO OVERTURN YOUR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS, I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS CHANGED, BRAKES CHANGED, TIRES BALANCED, AND ROTATED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE TO BE IN. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THE OWNER OF THE DODGE CO. AND HIS FAMILY FOR A RIDE. I WILL ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT SOMETHING WOULD GET DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ROTORS SHOULD LAST FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, BUT THE TRUCK IS VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO ALLOW MY WIFE OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED OR I SELL IT. ONCE I SELL IT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN, I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY…”

“BRAKE PERFORMANCE FAILURE BEGINNING AT 9,000 ODOMETER MILES: AT APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES THE BRAKES ON MY RAM 1500 2 WHEEL DRIVE BEGAN TO VIBRATE WHEN APPLIED. .NORMAL BRAKE USE WITH 65 TO 80% AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH, WITH NO EXCESSIVE OR EXTREME LOAD CONDITIONS, FROM PURCHASE UP TO THE INITIAL FAILURE. BEING 2300 MILES FROM HOME I WAITED TO VISIT THE DEALER UPON RETURN. NOW AT 12,000 ODOMETER MILES THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SEVERE CHATTER WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND EXHIBITED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 'PARALLELISM OR ROTOR WARPING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BRAKES WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BUT DID PROVIDE A VISUAL CHECK AND CONCLUDED THE REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED AND SHOULD BE TURNED. I HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED AND THE ROTORS TURNED WITHIN DAYS. AGAIN, PRIOR TO 10,000 ADDITIONAL MILES, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES PRODUCED VIBRATION. AS TIME AND MILES PROGRESSED THE VIBRATION BECAME EXTREME JUST AS BEFORE SO AT SOME POINT THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN WITH LITTLE IF ANY IMPROVEMENT. I CONTINUED TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SITUATION WAS SO SEVERE THE TRUCK WOULD APPEAR TO JUMP RAPIDLY UNDER BRAKING AND THE MORE PRESSURE APPLIED THE MORE VIOLENT THE REACTION. THE…”
