Problems with 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

There have been 5 recalls on my dodge ram. the airbags may rupture in 2015, the rear axle pinion nut may loosen at the differential (powertrain) in 2014, again the airbags inflator may rupture in 2014, the wheel hub assembly (wheels) in 2010, also a recall for the after market replacement pitman arms (steering) in 2010. i have gone to my chrysler dealer in las cruces, new mexico; the dodge dealer has been closed for a few years now. i have been told i have to have a notification from chrysler/dodge to have them just to take a look at it, much less fix the problems. now there is a huge recall; this is now really gotten serious. please help me as much as you can to take care of the malfunctions on my dodge ram as soon as possible. i have not taken the dodge on long distance road trips for the past couple of years now. the failed components listed below do not show all the malfunctions i have listed above.

It feels like the brakes are applied automatically, without drivers intervention and truck stalls out in the road. abs light comes on for a short time then goes out. this happened three times in a row and then all was fine. 2005 dodge ram 1500. two wheel drive truck. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. the contact stated while driving at unknown speeds and parking, the brakes failed causing the vehicle to hit a curb. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis where the contact was informed that the non serviceable hydraulic pump in the anti lock braking system had failed. the vehicle was repaired. two years later, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage is 95,000. updated 03/12/13*lj updated 3/13/13 updated 3/27/13 updated 04/18/2013*js

Bought a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 laramie quad cab used with 38000 mi. with new brakes & tires. at 42000mi a heavy vibration occurred, which turned out to be warped rotors. since it was just out of warranty, i replaced all rotors & brakes (i am maintenance in the army). then, at 51500mi the rotors warped again. i have read of many, many other owners with the same problem. i live a block from my job and don't drive very much. i also don't tow either, nor do i "slam" the brakes. i drive very slow & cautious, so there is no reason this should happen. this needs to be recalled & dodge needs to make good on their "tough truck". *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician replaced the front and rear brake kit, rotors, brake lines, hoses, fluids and the master cylinder cover. the contact stated that the failure recurred approximately three years later while driving approximately 55 mph. shortly thereafter, the vehicle had become responsive to acceleration and was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. the approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

Front rotors requiring refacing at 17,000 miles. rotors requiring refacing at 22,000 miles. rotors requiring refacing/replacement at 33,000 miles. *nm

Truck was bought new with 42 miles and at 9k the brake rotors were replaced because of excessive wear. again at 14k miles the brakes needed to be replaced, but this time the dealer refused to pay. the rotors only had 5k miles and 3 months. i spoke with chrylser, the general manager of the dealership, and the service manager and they are telling me this is normal wear and tear. i told them this was unacceptable that rotors were wearing out so quickly. i have made 3 attempts to fix the problem and it is still not fixed. i am comtemplating the next step in the repair process. hopefully, the nhtsa can be of some assistance. *jb

Brake rotor warping, front and rear-front replaced at approx 15000 miles and both front and rear replaced at 29000 miles. *nm

Have 2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab with factory installed 20" chrome wheels. brakes have gone out twice in 23,000 miles, at 13,000 and now again at 23,000. dealer refuses to accept any manufacturer defect. *tr

Offset accident at approx 30 mph. hit parked car. damage to fender. passenger wheel broke off. also brake lines severed. result is loss of control and ability to stop. truck is at dealer for repairs. should a wheel break off so easily. what are the standards. i have seen at least one other truck with the same damage. *jb

Dt*: the contact stated while driving at 30mph, the vehicle was involved in a crash. the brake pedal was depressed; however the vehicle did not stop and hit another vehicle. the contact was wearing a safety restraint and received no injuries. there was considerable amount of damage to both vehicles involved. the vehicle was taken to the local dealership prior to the incident concerning brake problems. the dealer had previously replaced the rear axle, rear brakes, rear brake drum, rear brake pads, brake shoes, linings and also the rear spring. the dealer stated no additional repairs could be completed until the manufacturer released other tsb's. the police filed a report at the scene.
