“I was involved in an mvc the middle of february, and my ABS did not work. All I could hear was the tires sliding. Could not hear the sound of or the feeling of the ABS working. I also tried to see if they worked when we had the last snow. The same thing happened. My wheels locked up and I just slidded. My vehicle is an 2007 Dodge RAM 2500 4x4. It is in the shop now for the repairs from the accident. I told keene Dodge in jarrettsville I wanted the ABS checked, and told them the same thing I told you.”
NHTSA complaint #10316991, filed 2010-03, 26,300 miles“I have owned this truck from day one. 2007 RAM 2500 4x4 quad cab 5.9. 50,000 miles. Truck has been pulling to the right for a while. I took vehicle in for alignment at dealership. They set it to specs. Brought it back about 40 days later to realign, still pulling to the right. Service advisor said that I needed to buy an offset ball joint in order for them to get more adjustment and to correct alignment at a cost of $622.00. Said that this is common problem. I called & emailed Dodge/chrysler asking why I would have to buy a part to correct a stock factory item. …”
NHTSA complaint #10512904, filed 2013-05, 49,998 miles“I was traveling a very curvy road to get to my destination. Time to get to destination was about 30 minutes. Once I got there, I parked, and got out of my 2007 Dodge RAM 2500 truck. The left rear wheel was smoking like it was on fire. The right rear wheel was smoking as well, but not as bad. This was the first time I'd seen this problem. I thought maybe I had been on the brakes too much going down the curvy road. I took the truck to the Dodge dealership service department to get it checked out. I was told my brakes were fine, that I had about 50% brake pad still left on the rear brakes. …”
