2016 Ram 2500 Brakes Problems

“The trailer brake controller does not apply the trailer brakes enough to slow the trailer. I have had the brake controller serviced 3 times under warrantee and it still does not work properly. My trailer is a 34 foot trailer manufactured in 2016. The trailer woks correctly when towed by my friend's truck and the trailer dealership tow vehicle. The brake controller barely applies a slight drag to the trailer brakes at all speeds. It does not apply additional braking force when set at the maximum setting (+10) and manually moved to the maximum braking setting.”

“I was driving down the street at 35 MPH when all of a sudden I lost my brakes. I had to swerve to avoid hitting another car and ended up on the sidewalk. I then pushed my emergency brake in to stop. I ran into a street sign and the front passenger quarter panel, light and mirror were damaged. Once I was able to get a tow to my office I realized that what had happened was the shock had broken off the axle and severed the brake line. This is the fourth time that this shock has come of the axle and dodge has done nothing to solve the problem. …”

“T79/NHTSA 17-821 recall.. Just wondering if and when the fix may happen? It has hampered my chance of selling it due to the open recall and the fact of no giving date as to when it would be fixed, dealer will not buy it ( the one who would, would only give a small percent of it value) and a buyer backed out cause of the type of safety issues it is. I spoke to the dealer ship and they have said that they have not been giving any ideas or a time frame when FCA would have a fix. Just wondered what if any options I may have to get it fixed or get a safer vehicle. Thank you”

“Brake line from master cylinder ruptured due to chafing against plastic ABS box under the hood causing massive loss of brake fluid and a loss in braking effectiveness. It was discovered after pulling over to investigate the brakes sponginess and lack of stopping power.”

“Required brake pedal pressure is excessive. In panic braking situations the brake pedal goes to the floor. Truck takes way longer to stop than it should. Also, in reverse it takes extreme brake pedal pressure to stop the truck.”
