TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE REAR END WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE REAR END TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,820.
WHILE TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER, ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED TO ALLOW ME TO PASS SOME SLOW SEMI'S. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR AS I HELD IT DOWN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. EXHAUST BRAKE ENGAGED!! IT WASNT EVEN ON!! HOWEVER, I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON BUT NOT ENGAGED. I QUICKLY ENGAGED THE RESUME FEATURE AND USED THE ACCELERATE FUNCTION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SPEED UP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT THIS BY FAR THE SCARIEST. ALSO THE EXHAUST BRAKE ENGAGES WHEN NOT EVEN ON AT RANDOM COASTING TIMES WHEN NOT HAULING ANYTHING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL A BIG TRUCK DUE TO THESE GLITCHES. ALSO TWO OF THESE FIRESTONE TIRES HAVE WORN BALD AT 18000 MILES. ACCELERATOR HAS NO RESPONSE WHEN A QUICK STOP AND GO TRANSITION IS APPLIED.
