| Description of the problem | One day i was driving my dodge ram pickup. I was coming to a stop while applying my brakes the pedal went to the floor. I did get the truck to stop with out any crashes. Ever since then i have noticed brake noise. Now when i press on the brake pedal and i am on a slippery surface or going over a bump my brakes grind. I have taken the truck to two different dodge dealers and both of them try to tell me that this is normal. *jb |
