2 Brakes Failed problem of the 2010 Dodge RAM

Failure Date: 05/27/2010

2010 Dodge Ram hd diesel e/w new integrated trailer brake controller. New brake controller failure. The brake controller failure disconnected 3 times going down a steep grade. Also there was very little brake pressure coming from the integrated brake controller. Faxed all of the information to dealer and they said their tech was busy and did not have time to call Dodge to see if there is an ongoing problem with the new controller. Dealer is rio vista Dodge, location rio vista, CA. I feel dealer should have looked at this problem because it is a safety issue.

6 Brakes Failed problem of the 1998 Dodge RAM

Failure Date: 07/04/1999

The front brakes on this truck failed to work evenly. A sever pull to the left, resulting in a near jack knife situation and collision with on coming traffic. I immediately took the truck into the dealer. They have been unsuccessful in repairing it and state that only 5% of the trucks in this model do that, therefore Dodge will not recall and the warranty will not cover the repairs. Dodges answer is to "live with it". This problem is significant and a definite safety hazard. I request a representative contact me immediately about this situation.
