Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Brake pedal goes to the floor only while at slow speeds and stopped. Ram stated its normal for truck to have soft brakes when stopped or slower driving. With the soft pedal sinking to the it seems to be a safety factor as it don't have full braking pressure to hold the vehicle still while on an incline. Oddly if you put the vehicle in neutral the brakes begin working again. Many forums online have reported this issue but it seems mopar isn't concerned about the safety aspect and the importance of brakes. |
