“My 99 Dodge Ram Pickup has less than 70,000 miles and while driving it today a brake line ruptured, upon looking at the line, it appears to be of steel and is a mass of rust. Luckily no accident resulted, but I wonder if this has been a problem and if there is a safety recall, or should be. Thanks, dick carleton.”

NHTSA complaint #10243811, filed 2008-09, 70,000 miles

“I have a Dodge ram 2500 with ABS. This system quit working around 36,000 miles. It pulls hard when you brake or kicks your foot off and will not stop. We have spent over $2,000.00 trying to fix the problem since the warranty was not honored and they would not acknowledge a recall. …”
