THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60 MPH WHEN THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON, THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE SEIZED UP FOLLOWED BY THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. VEHICLE SKIDDED TO A HALT AND WAS NO LONGER DRIVE-ABLE DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING COMPLETELY SEIZED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE SUDDEN STOP AND INABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COULD ALSO NOT BE MOVED FURTHER FROM THE ROADSIDE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET BROKE CAUSING THE FRONT HUB BEARING TO BLOW APART WHICH LED TO DAMAGE OF THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS.

NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP WHO SUGGESTED BALANCING TIRES, ROAD FORCING TIRES, ETC BEFORE BRINGING IT IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO SEVERAL TIRE SHOPS TO HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED, ROAD FORCED, CHANGED OUT FOR DIFFERENT TIRES, ETC. NOTHING RELATED TO TIRES "FIXED" THE ISSUE. BROUGHT TRUCK BACK TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE, THEY REPLACED TWO TIRES THAT WERE (SUPPOSEDLY) "BAD" AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. RETURNED THE TRUCK FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE TO FIAT CHRYSLER THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED OUT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME INDICATING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO AND THAT ANY REMAINING VIBRATION COULD NOT BE "FIXED." DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND FELT THE VIBRATION. CONTINUED...

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO FIND TIRES THAT A) RIDE WELL, AND B) LOOK GOOD TO ACCOMMODATE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS. IN THIS TRUCK THE WARNING LIGHT IS SET SO HIGH THAT I HAVE TO KEEP 80 PSI IN THE TIRES. THE DEALER SAYS IT'S A REQUIREMENT BY THE NHTSA. ARE WE (CONSUMERS) STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM, OR IS THERE SOME KIND OF "FIX" THAT WOULD ALLOW THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE WARNING DOWN TO SOMETHING LIKE 45 PSI? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
