I have a 2007 dodge ram 1500 I bought new. The truck has about 16000 miles and I had a brake problem a few days ago. When I was driving about 55 mph down the highway the truck started to pull to the right and it felt like it was slowing down. As I drove father the pulling became worse and it was being slowed down even more. I figured the tire was flat and pulled over to check the passenger front tire. I went out and all the tires were fine. I was surprised but figured I drive about a half mile home to check what was up. I started driving more and the pull and slow down effect was still going strong. I could barely get enough power to get the truck to go into over drive. So I get home park the truck and get out. Right away I could smell something burning. I could also hear the passenger front rotor making snapping noises from all the heat. I knew something was wrong so I waited a bit so the rotor would cool so i could take it to the dealer. When I left a half hour later all was fine. The truck drove fine and coasted with no brake effect. I'm stumped and so are any of my mechanic buddies. Should I have the brakes checked since it is under warrenty still or is this just a fluke problem?

 

I'd have it looked at. The stealership will tell you there's nothing wrong, but it sounds like your RF caliper is sticking for some reason. If it happens again, you know you have a problem. With all that heat, it may have screwed your rotor up.
