The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately 25 mph, the ABS indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to autonation Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Fiat at 200 automall dr roseville, ca 95661. And the contact was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was diagnosed repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Driving apporoximately 35 mph was going to make left turn went to slow down to make the turn and the brakes were very soft and I missed the turn. Got home and looked under the truck to see a large amount of brake fluid leaking out from around the hard brake lines on the frame by drivers rear tire. The lines were very corroded.
To whom it may concern, these rubber brake lines almost killed me barreling thru a downhill red light. Fixed bad part, then hit guard rail, damaged front grille, bumper and fender when the other line popped while driving. I was told this is a notorious problem with Dodge trucks. I'm not as angry about the filler neck which rotted and filed tank w rust chunks, replaced fuel pump. But I think more ppl need to B aware of this brake problem with these trucks, as far as I'm concerned, this is incredibly dangerous, and I might scrap it because it's problems 120K mile truck I can't even get 700$ for after the $ I've invested to keep it safe. I think the brakes need to be recalled with these trucks. Owners like me just let them sit because they rosy so easy their not worth fixing anymore, I regularly maintenence my vehicles, these are expensive to keep safe, thank you. Scott kimball.120K 98 Ram
