Consumer Description

MY TRUCK BRAKES PULL SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN ALL RAM 2500 4X4 TRUCKS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED ROTORS; CALIPERS;ALIGNMENT; ETC. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 9 TIMES (I HAVE DOCUMENTATION) ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RELIEF. DEALER NOW REFUSES TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM. BRAKES PULL TO RIGHT HARD ENOUGH TO SLIDE TRUCK SIDEWAYS ON WET PAVEMENT. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT FASTER ON RIGHT FRONT - THERE HAS BEEN EVIDENCE OF THE RIGHT ROTOR GETTING HOT (BRAKES DRAGGING). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN A LARGE TALL AND HEAVY TRUCK! ALL DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO REPORT PERIODIC OR CONTINUOUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES. *AK
