Consumer Description
Pulling a travel trailer in the mountains on vacation this month my Service ABS light started coming on and off intermittently and the alarm would sound each time. Each time my cruse control would turn off and I wasn't sure if my emergency ABS brakes were going to work, or not, if I needed them to pulling my trailer with my wife in the truck. I was 1,500 mile away from home and this created a stressful circumstance for me the rest of the trip. Upon arriving home, I discovered on the web that this is a know problem with Dodge RAMs of this year model. I also saw recall notices associated with 2018 models, just one year younger than mine with the exact same symptoms. Obviously, this problem didn't get fixed for the 2018 model year. I am quite concerned that my truck may not be safe and the ABS problem needs to be addressed. I am going to pay to have it fixed, but I feel confident that a recall notice needs to be executed, and executed NOW so others dont't have to die from a problem that was known and unaddressed. Thank you. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
