| Description of the problem | I was driving on my way to work and the abs light, limited slip light, esp light and brake light all came on. I went to my local mechanic and had the computer scanned for the code. I called the dealership and they said to bring it in, but i would have to pay for a diagnostics fee. I looked up and there is a service bulletin for this exact problem due to bad software loaded into 125,000+ vehicles. I was told this was something that i would have to pay for. In the past couple months, i have spoken to 4 other 2009 ram 1500 owners who have all experienced the exact same problem. This vehicle is known by dodge to have an abs problem and should be considered unsafe to drive until they admit they need to fix it!!! |
