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.

At 5,000 miles, my brakes began to shake when braking. I suspect warped rotors due to the fact that so many other rams have had this problem.

This is unsafe and unacceptable. Why is Dodge allowed to sell vehicles with substandard parts? massive documentation about problem on Dodgetruckworld. Com.
