2020 Ram 1500 Brakes Problems

“After sitting overnight, when backing out of driveway, brakes howl/growl when applied. Happens once each day. Many complaints on-line of same thing happening to dodge Ram 1500 5th gen. See service bulletin 05-001-19. I have owned this vehicle for one month. Bought it with 5600 miles on it. This has been happening daily since I bought it.”

“Driving off a exit, at about 10-15 MPH went under a bridge and the forward collision warning system applied the brake and stopped the car short(no other car was in front of me), almost having the car behind me hit me. Also going into a parking garage it also stopped short 2 times during one visit, no other cars around. This is extremely dangerous !!!”

“While backing up an inclined driveway onto a busy road the rear braking assist activated without cause, shutting off the engine, leaving me exposed to oncoming traffic. We were able to restart and pull back into the driveway so there was not an accident but it was a very dangerous situation.”

“Turned into driveway to park truck and brakes did not work the vehicle would not stop it hit my garage and the only way to get it to stop is when I threw it into reverse so it wouldn't keep going. The automatic brakes that kick in when too close to something also did not work or kick in.”

“Purchased 2020 Ram limited on july 14, 2020. Msrp was $70,355. On july 16 was traveling on I-15 when all traffic was stopped in front of me. I was traveling over 70 MPH. I applied brakes and nothing, didn't even slow me down. To avoid colliding with any of the stopped cars I left the roadway and drove onto the shoulder and into the bar ditch. Took me approx half mile to get stopped. Stopped by going up an exit. When I finally stopped, I was terrified. I checked brake pedal for obstruction and it was clear. …”
