Intermittently brakes lock up whith light pressure. One dealer has duplicated problem, but could not repair it. *ak the master cylinder was found leaking and was replaced, however this did not correct the problem, the front brakes will lock and the rear brakes will roll free, sometimes it is the opposite that occurs, when the ABS grabs, it lets go too long before it grabs again, dealer refuses to diagnose and fix it, dodge customer hot line left a message for consumer stating not to call them anymore.

Brakes hit to avoid collision. After which ABS light and brake lit on dash board. Feeser dodge in henderson, nc was contacted for repair. Parts had to be ordered. I was told at dealership that this was the second incident that week like mine. The question is ABS brakes are designed for a steady preasure versus the old pumping method.
