Two problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2000 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In muskogee county. By the grace of god, I finally gain control of my vehicle, after applying the brakes that failed on me, to avoid an accident, I pulled over to inspect my vehicle. I did a walk around inspection and noticed left rear side a puddle of oil on the ground, a oil leaks right next to the fuel tank inside the frame. After getting into my vehicle I noticed, my abs light come on. So, I had it tow home. Prior to this I did not have an inspection to see it was safe to drive and I did not report this to the police.
When I adjusted the steering wheel to a different position an apparent electrical failure shut down the engine and the power steering and power brakes rendering the truck almost uncontrollable at that speed. This catastrophic failure was replicated at different speeds and while startionary. Apparently any movement of the steering wheel will shut off complete power to the engine and cause a total loss of power to the vehicle.
