Question Braking Question

Hey guys,

when I drive above 60 miles/hour and press the brake paddle moderately, my D shakes like if I am driving on a pavement. I have a 2012 Crew, HEMI, AWD with only 350 miles on it. I searched the forum for something similar, but I found nothing.

What do you think?

This technique has been around for ages, but the fact is you shouldn't have to do this with a factory new set of OEM brakes. I'd let the dealer look at it to make sure you don't have a warped rotor, or even something more serious going on.

Most likely warped rotors. Shouldn't happen that early!

I had the same problem with my 2008 Chrysler 300. Take it back to the dealer mine had warped rotors. They were first going to cut the rotors but I demanded they give me new ones since the vehicle was brand new. Once the rotors were replaced it braked smoothly.

Same problem here on my 2011 crew, warped rotors.
The dealer replaced them. No more shaking.

How many miles were on your truck when the problem occurred and when the dealer replaced them?

I only get the shaking when I press the brake paddle hard on speeds above 60 MPH. Is this what used to happen with you?
