| Description of the problem | Recently my 2008 dodge ram 1500 quad cab started locking up as if i was slamming on my brakes when i was driving and not touching my brakes. This would happen whenever i was driving 60mph or greater on any kind of road going in a straight line. I had the brake lines flushed and new brake fluid put in along with cleaning out the rear differential and putting in expensive synthetic oil and still no change. I've called dodge corporate about this and they said they couldn't do anything because there is no recall on the books about this. I did some research and found out that there have been a lot of complaints about this same thing happening to other dodge ram 1500 truck years. I had my mechanic put the dodge computer on it and it showed no codes. He has no clue about what to do. Neither do i. |
