Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 2001 Dodge RAM

While driving 10 mph, brakes were applied to avoid a collision, brakes locked up, and vehicle was involved in a front crash. Vehicle was totalled, no injuries.

The steering wheel was hard to turn while driving at a low speed. The vehicle wandered across the road. The vehicle has been to the dealer on three separate occasions. The dealer replaced the steering box on two separate occasions and made some other repairs, however the problem continued. The consumer stated the brakes would grab, however the mechanic informed the consumer that was the way abs worked.

When applying brakes back wheels lock up. It's noticeable mostly in gravel or wet road. Brakes will lock up ,and make vehicle slide. Contact dealer, and dealer stated it was a problem with brakes.

Total loss of steering and braking. Am in process of replacing power steering pump/brake vacuum pump (one unit) for the second time. At time of loss of steering and braking control was driving downhill with a full size camper on ice. Slid sideways and stopped in snowbank. Am afraid to drive vehicle after second incident. Know several drivers who have experienced same problem with 2001 Dodge Rams.

The abs is very poor and dangerous in that on tire lock up or skid, the brakes on both rear wheels are released even if only one tire is on snow. This condition provides no stopping power. The consumer would like upgrading the abs or removing it.

Braking system performs erratically. Problem with not stopping properly. Dealer / manufacturer were notified, and unwilling to assist in this matter. Please provide any further details concerning this situation.

Vehicle wanders into another lane when letting go of steering. Applying brakes and vehicle pulls to the right. Manufacturer & dealer say that vehicle is within specifications. The parts aren't available for corrections to take place.

When the brake was applied, the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.
