Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500

I have had to replace brake rotors/pads 5 times in 70,000 miles. The rotors warp prematurely causing severe shaking and pulsation while braking, creating an unsafe control issue. It is particularly disturbing when slowing down from highway speed.

Traveling 50 to 70 miles an hour and applying the brakes truck shakes from side to side (death wobble). Replaced brake pads, rotors, and spindles but problem persists.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500,steering wheel shakes & truck pulls when brakes applied. Brakes back & front changed rotors & pads. Same condition. This condition was reported June 15/07 7 tie rod ends changed & brakes. The second set of brakes have been installed checked tie rods defective & sloppy on second set. Vehicle has 71727 km`s & Dodge will not change tie rod ends saying truck is out of warranty period. Checking used 2006 to 2008 Dodge rams have had tie rods changed. Suspect Chrysler Dodge does not want to advertise this defect with recall because after tie rods changed alignment is required.

Bad pulsation when braking. Brake rotors warped after 12,000 miles. Dealer refused to fix it, had to pay for new rotors and pads after only 12,000 miles had the same problem with the last Dodge truck and they talked me in to this new truck with some money off to solve the problem now that this truck was doing the same thing they want nothing to do with me . . . . . . The truckwas unsafe it felt as if my tirewas going to fall off .

Brake performance failure beginning at 9,000 odometer miles: at approximately 9,000 miles the brakes on my Ram 1500 2 wheel drive began to vibrate when applied. . Normal brake use with 65 to 80% at highway speeds up to 75 mph, with no excessive or extreme load conditions, from purchase up to the initial failure. Being 2300 miles from home I waited to visit the dealer upon return. Now at 12,000 odometer miles the vehicle was experiencing severe chatter when applying brakes and exhibited what I thought was 'parallelism or rotor warping. The dealer informed me that brakes were out of warranty but did provide a visual check and concluded the rear rotors were warped and should be turned. I had the brakes serviced and the rotors turned within days. Again, prior to 10,000 additional miles, application of the brakes produced vibration. As time and miles progressed the vibration became extreme just as before so at some point the rotors were turned again with little if any improvement. I continued to use the vehicle until the situation was so severe the truck would appear to jump rapidly under braking and the more pressure applied the more violent the reaction. The severity was worse at increased speeds. Finally in fear for passenger safety I purchased performance ebc drilled and slotted brake rotors and performance pads and had those installed. The result after a short time was a worse, and even more severe, problem beginning well short of 10,000 miles. The situation is now so bad I have actually been thrown into adjoining traffic lanes. I am convinced a systemic problem exist.
