Just to advise everyone that doesn't know yet! Daimler Chrysler had issued a bulletin back in may 2006 for rear brake issue and rear axle...

Problem with the brake is coming from hwy braking at high/medium speed, the truck was making a rattle on the brake pedal... if your problem please have it changed. Will become very costly after warranty. The need to change the entire rear brake assembly and cost over $1000 so...

 

Anyone else had that problem?

 

What was the first systems of the problem?What were you feeling in the peddle,There have been times when i've needed to slam on the brakes on the HWY and noticed the ABS kick in & felt the peddle shudder but is there much of a diff in what you're talking about?

Nope pretty much the same thing... Mostly at hwy speed. Slowing down then the pedal would shudder like that and need to pump it up to break effectively. Daimler-Chrysler didn't bother to get a recall cause it was a costly job...[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

 

Dodge does not decide (usually) to recall cars, usually its the Federal government.If many people have the same concern the Feds will investigate and if they agree with your concern they will FORCE Dodge to issue recall. Be awre this process can take years but eventually the will investigate and require corrective action. I suggest you start the process by using this link.

BTW I have a 2006 TRX4 also, but it only has 600 miles so far it seems fine.

 

i haven't noticed mine do that yet i don't drive alot of highway thoi hope mine doesn't have that problem. how fast do you go and is it hard braking or wat?

 

mine had the same problem, they have a tsb on it, and the warranty took care of it

 

Thanks for the info Antjmar, I will check on that but the mecanic at my dealer had done 2 of those since 2006.
Said it wasn't common but had heard of few more at another shop nearby.

Anyway glad warranty covers.

 

my truck has this problem too, i'm bringing it to the dealer tomorrow to get it fixed. My rear abs never comes on and the wheels lock and I start skidding. I actually crashed my truck once and my rear wheels locked and I just hit the truck in front of me, of course it was this woman who was not watching the road and swerved off into the emergency lane so she wouldn't slam into a line of traffic, so I had three options, hit the line of traffic, try to stop before hitting the pickup stopped in the emergency lane, or go down a ditch and hope not to flip my truck, i was so pissed that it happened. Luckily I just hit the corner of her bumper and only messed up my front fender a bit. But yesterday driving I was on the highway, lots of hills and curves, and coming around a blind corner everyone was stopped because of an accident and I had to slam on my brakes and again the rear wheels locked and i was skidding to a stop. Hopefully this gets fixed tomorrow, its a problem that never should have happened.

 

OK I have a 2007 slt about 10k on it when did you notice this and is in all models
