 Description of the problemThe itbcm ( integrated brake control module) on my new truck has been replaced twice and re-flashed once. The brake controller works inconsistently. There are times when it will stop the trailer as intended and then there are times when it won't work at all or either won't emit enough braking power. This is a real safety issue. I use the truck to pull a 8k lb trailer (empty). When load with 3 cars i gross a combined weight of over 20k lbs. On numerous occasions the truck onboard display would display the message saying "trailer brakes disconnected/check trailer brake wires". When this occurs i lose the ability to stop my trailer. Pulling that much weight and without the ability to stop my trailer properly poses a real safety concern not only to me for especially to others on the highway. This is a major known issue on several forums concerning the ram itbcm. I just got my truck back today (9/19/2016) from the ram dealership after being there all week. I was told the mechanics ran several test and confirmed that the itbcm needed to be replaced again. This is the second replacement and it still doesn't work correctly. This problem first began with only a few hundred miles on the truck. Once i got to 24k miles it got worst the more i used it for towing. Now i'm at 30k miles and the problem remains even after repairs. Something seriously needs to be done about this. People lives are at stake. This problem occurs randomly at times when i'm traveling 65mph on the highway and even when taking off from a stop. I paid money to get my trailer inspected just to make sure that it wasn't the problem. I even hooked my truck up to another working trailer and had the same message display.
