Hi Fella's,
I have a 2018 Ram reg cab short bed with a V6. 27,000 miles on the clock, Nice truck. Only one problem.
The problem I have is the truck will randomly apply the front brakes anytime it wants. When it happens, The front end starts vibrating until I pull off on the shoulder of the road. The only way I can get the brakes to release is to disconnect the negative side of the battery to 20 minutes or so then I can continue on. Its been doing it for about a little over a year now. No lights in the dash are on when it happens, No codes when scanned. I called Chrysler Corp and the dealer I bought it from new. Both reps. told me I'm the only one they've heard about having this issue. Yeah Sure! ! I'm thinking the ABS module or the HCU pump may be the issue . With no codes or faults showing on the scan tool at the Ram dealership. Where do you start? I don't want to just start throwing parts at it hoping it fixes the problem at some point. It's so intermittent It'll be awhile before I even know the issue is resolved if I start changing parts. Any suggestions based on issues you guys have had? Thanks in advance guys.
