SAME DRIVETRAIN PINION ISSUE AS THE 05 MODEL. MY DRIVESHAFT CAME OFF THE PINION AND MADE ME SKID AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. DODGE RECALL CENTER WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT MY LATE 04 COULD HAVE THE SAME PINION DEFECT AS THE 05.

THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES WERE ACTING STRANGELY -- SPONGY AND NOT BRAKING PROPERLY. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES. ON 8/4/2015, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL WORK DONE FOR AIRBAGS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP INDICATING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AGREED TO THE WORK. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK, I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY HAD A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY EVEN PUTTING THE BRAKES BACK TOGETHER AND THAT SOMETHING WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY ON MY TRUCK WHEN IT WAS BUILT! SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO OWNS THE "SAME" TRUCK AS MINE -- 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI -- AND HIS BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED IN HIS DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY! I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE "OFFICIALS" AWARE OF THIS IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS AN UNKNOWN, ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEMS OF 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 PICK-UP TRUCKS.
