Consumer Description

WHILE IN REVERSE THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING THE ROTOR. THE CALIPER WAS CHANGED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IT COULD BE THE DRIVE LINE REAR-END PINION NUT BACKING OFF THE BOLT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, EITHER WAY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN BACKING UP SLOWLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED.
