Ten problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had a problem with the right brake ever since I bought the truck. I took it into the Dodge dealer in victorville who told me that I did not have a recall so it would cost me to chnage the rotors since it was damaged. I just had my husband replace it with a new rotor which was very costly since I was not able to stop anymore because I had no brake pad on the inside of the right rotor since it has always been stuck and just finally wore out everything.
A knocing noise would sound when applying brakes in reverse, dealer notified.
I was driving along when the car stopped hard I proceeded to slam on my brakes, when I noticed I was not stopping. The truck has been inspected by 4 outside personal and they all say the same thing. That I have a sever problem with my rear brakes, but they can not find the problem including chrylser.
