2011 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

THE BRAKES SKIP WHEN BEING APPLIED AT ANY SPEED. TOOK THE TRUCK TO GET SERVICED AT THE DODGE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG BY THE DESCRIPTION I GAVE HIM. HE STATED HE NORMALLY GETS DODGE TRUCKS IN TWO THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR THE SAME ISSUE. BASICALLY, DODGE USED A SLEEVED BRAKE LINE AND THE INNER LINE IS SEPARATING FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE AND SLIDING INTO THE PUMP. HE STATED ALMOST A FOOT OF BRAKE LINE HAD SLIDE INTO MY PUMP. AT 37K MILES SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.

MY WIFE AND I WERE HAULING OUR 5TH WHEEL FROM ALABAMA TO GEORGIA AND HAD BEEN ON SEVERAL STEEP GRADES WITH NO PROBLEMS. BEFORE OUR TRIP ENDED THE "NO TRAILER BRAKE" INDICATOR SHOWED UP ON THE EVIC. WE HAD THE 5TH WHEEL BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS EXAMINED BY A TRAILER DEALER AND NO PROBLEMS WHERE FOUND WITH IT. HOWEVER, I CHECKED, AS DID THE TRAILER DEALER, MY 7 PRONG CONNECTION ON THE TRUCK AND IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO VOLTAGE GOING TO THE 5TH WHEEL FROM THE INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE, OF COURSE, THEY TELL ME THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 5TH WHEEL NOT THE TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM IS A VERY BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!! HAD THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER STOPPED WORKING ON ONE OF THE STEEP GRADES I HAD JUST TRAVELLED, I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO COMPLAIN. I SINCE HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS ON A COUPLE OF ONLINE FORUMS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER.

GOING INTO A CURVE FRONT END OF VEHICLE SHAKES AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DOES NOT DO IT CONSISTENTLY BUT HAVE HEARD OTHER RAM OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN MY RAM DOES THIS YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOOSING CONTROL. AT SOME POINT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
