Description of the problem	The front brake will lock up on one side causing the rotor , caliper hub and wheel to become so hot it starts smoking . After it cools of it will release the locked up caliper and become drivable again. This will be fine for a while and then the other side will do the same thing.. This has to be very dangerous overheating all the front end components to these very high temperatures . There have been others with this problem on a forum ( vtcoa. Com ) i am a member of . There needs to be a dodge recall on all the effected overheating parts before it causes a major accident if it hasn't already. The other problem is the power steering hoses keep leaking or blowing out . This is another real hazard to safety . Have you ever tried to steer a 3 ton truck with no power assist , not easy by any means . These two things are an accident waiting to happen and should be corrected by dodge before someone gets killed.
