2009 Dodge Ram 1500 service brakes problems

“The brakes locked up twice since purchased the vehicle. The left side locking up would have caused me to veer into oncoming traffic. Years late when the right side locked up would've have veered right causing an accident. This last time the brakes aren't releasing. This happening 3 times has reproduced itself. The 1st time I took it to a dealership. No warning lamps were showing or any symptoms for this happening. I've purchased the lifetime warranty on this vehicle.”

“ABS CONTROLLER STOPPED WORKING. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED DUE TO A NATION WIDE BACK ORDER OF THE COMPONENTS NEEDED DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF FAILURES THAT HAS OCCURRED.”

“ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH ARE ON AND THE VECHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS CAUSING A SITUATION WHERE THE BRAKES ARE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY INPUT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN DRIVING, THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT A RAPID PACE, AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLES REAR BRAKES ARE SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR COMPANIES AND EACH SAID THE COMPUTER CODES INDICATED AN ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILURE AND NEEDS REPLACED. IN THE NORTHERN WINTER CLIMATE WHERE I LIVE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY ROADS. I AM VERY CAREFUL TO HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL BUT IT STILL CAUSES A 'JERKY ' FEEL WHEN DRIVING.”

“ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES OR TRACTION CONTROL. VEHICLE THROWING CODES C2200 AND C120D. THE PART IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS REPAIRED TWO WEEKS AFTER FAILURE.”

“ON JUNE 9,2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:20AM I ENTERED AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. I EXITED MY NOW PARKED VEHICLE AND WENT INSIDE AT 10:21. PRIOR TO EXITING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY ROCKS AND THE AND THE PARKING GEAR ENGAGES INDICATING THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. MOMENTS LATER, 6 MINUTES AT 10:27AM JUNE 9, 2017 THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND STRUCK THE BRICK MAILBOX AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING UNREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE MAILBOX. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET WAS OUTSIDE DURING THE INCIDENT AND WITNESSED THE EVENT AND NOTIFIED ME. THE HOME SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURED THE ABOVE DESCRIBED OF EVENTS. AFTER NOTIFYING FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES I LEARNED OF A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 17V-821 THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK. THIS SAFETY RECALL MAY RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE SHIFTED OF THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION OR A BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION. THIS INCREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY THAT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH OR…”

“I HAVE HAD THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED TWICE NOW DUE TO FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN DODGES. IT HAS CAUSED MY WINDOW DEFROSTER, WIPERS, DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS RANDOMLY NOT TO WORK. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ELECTRICAL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES ON AND OFF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND LOCKING UP ON ME. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE'S COLD WEATHER OR RAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DEFROSTER OR WIPERS ARENT WORKING OR MY TURN SIGNAL IS CUTTING OUT. THE TIPM ON OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HASNT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FARTHER.”
