Brake failure by model year
What owners say
Vehicle experienced numerous brake failures. In speaking with other owners they experienced similar brake problems. Please help.
My pickup truck is equipped with diesel engine. The engine driven vacuum pump allowed engine oil into the vacuum hoses due to the absence of an internal check valve. The oil did cause the hose to deteriorate and partially collapse, reducing the vacuum supply to the brake booster. Chrysler stated that my pu was not covered by this problem although I had repeated brake failures until the vaccum hose was replaced and a check valve installed. I've not experienced brake failure since the vaccum hose was replaced and the check valve installed.
Vehicle pulls to the left due to ABS brake failure.
Loss of braking power and pads wear out on/before 10000 miles of use.
When applying the ABS brakes, the pedal goes to the floor and brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Cause unknown.
While driving experiences ABS brake failure, when attempting to slow/stop brake action seems ineffective, vehicle slides before stopping, pedal goes to floor, both ABS and hydraulic lights stay on continuously, resulting in near collisions, dealer can't correct problem.
Abs, brake failure, continue front disc pads, at a speed of 25 sheared the brakes off right wheel. Tt
