What owners wrote
On 07/17/06 at approx. 3:45 pm. While traveling at 35 - 40 MPH in heavy traffic in phoenix az.. Outside temp. Around 108 - 110 *f on a newish rubberized surface. The cars ahead of me stopped quite quickly. I applied the brakes firmly the truck felt as if I were on ice. Not seeming to slow the truck down at all. Resulting in a crash. There were 2 skid marks from the rear tires. Nothing from the front. It has been brought to my attn.
ABS light wont even flash or give warning and truck slid a bit. No accidents to report, yet. This has happened multiple times after braking when the needle dips below 20 miles per hour. Thats why I give plenty of space between cars when approaching a light just in case the truck slides. I have complained but dodge keeps telling me my VIN number has no recall for my ABS ECU. There is a recall for ABS ECU but not on my VIN number but I am having the same issue for the ABS recall. So they will not replace it.
