Brakes have failed into ABS mode twice while braking on dry roadway conditions from speeds of 30 to 45 miles per hour in a manner not typically experienced with the vehicle. The style of braking performed into the switch to ABS mode was smooth steady pressure. I have owned the vehicle for ten years and have not experienced an issue such as this before. Took the vehicle to my local dodge dealership to get inspected and inspection came back with no error codes or apparent mechanical problems according to dealership personnel.

My 2008 dodge charger was wrecked in april. The ABS light and esp (traction control) lights on the dash came on. The next thing I knew there was no brakes at low speeds. This had never happened before. I continued to my destination only a few miles away and planned to call a tow truck. As I tried to stop so I could get out to open a gate the car would not stop and I wrecked the car. There was nothing done to correct the failure. The car was totaled and nothing was ever done by dodge or chrysler to compensate for the problem. In fact I was told that the very moment the lights came on I should have stopped driving the vehicle and called the dealership. This would have been possible if I lived in a bigger city, but I live in the country with very little cell phone reception in some areas.
