| Description of the problem | With only 37,000 miles on this truck i experienced all of my dashboard lights related to abs to light up . Had codes read revealing c2200 anti-lock brake module internal and c120d rear traction control prime valve control circuit low. The truck was still drivable up until the right front wheel and wheel assembly overheated and caused my right front disc rotor to overheat and begin to come apart from the inside out and also caused a blown piston sleeve on the break caliper to cause the front wheel assembly to actually overheat with smoke and extreme asbestos smelling heat coming out of the wheel. I have contacted the dealer to ask them if they would help honor what is in fact a vehicle with just 1000 miles more than the 36,000 mile warranty and they refused to take any responsibility for the failure of the abs system or the blown caliper and rotor. I have since at my expense replaced two front disc rotors and 1 right front caliper and added my second set of new brake pads ( the set that was on there were just replaced and only had about 6000 miles on them.) i have read online that this problem has happened to over 75,000 dodge ram pick up trucks and i can not imagine that this is not a safety related issue that at least gets dodge to acknowledge they have faulty electronic braking equipment . |
