1 Abs Brake Fail problem of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 01/04/2019

Abs system warning light and electronic stability control light on the dash are on and the vechicle braking system is causing a situation where the brakes are trying to stop the vehicle when going down the road without any input on the brake pedal. When driving, the abs system light goes on and off at a rapid pace, and each time the vehicles rear brakes are slowing down the vehicle. I had the system checked by 2 different auto repair companies and each said the computer codes indicated an abs control module failure and needs replaced. In the northern winter climate where I live, I'm concerned about loss of control on icy roads. I am very careful to have both hands on the wheel but it still causes a �jerky � feel when driving.

2 Abs Brake Fail problem of the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 11/25/2015

While applying urgent braking at full pedal force due to another vehicle changing lanes in front of the vehicle at a much lower speed, the abs system failed to function, causing the vehicle to skid for two to three seconds over an unknown distance. After approximately two to three seconds applying full force to the brake pedal and skidding, the pedal suddenly released all resistance against the driver's foot and was able to become fully-depressed against the floorboard/firewall of the vehicle. At the moment of the event, the vehicle gave a violent shudder and all braking power was lost. The vehicle continued forward without brakes until striking another vehicle and coming to a full stop, resulting in multiple injuries and a total loss of the vehicle. Post-collision, the vehicle's brake pedal was able to be pressed completely to the floorboard/firewall of the vehicle with very little resistance. The approximate speed when braking was initiated was between 45 and 50 miles per hour. Police responding to the collision estimated that the vehicle was traveling at approximately 15 miles per hour at the final point of collision with the second vehicle involved according to the police report.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, every winter I have owed this vehicle, the abs and brake warning system lights come on, warning of abs failure. Each time it has been "fixed" the dealer has claimed it is due to moisture in the system. . . . Can't believe the same thing can happen over and over again.
