2012 brake shudder

[Danimal77]

I've had my 2012 for a little over a week now and still trying to get aclimated with it. I love the thing, it's a beast! Only issue so far is some brake shudder. Don't notice it driving around town, but mostly when coming off a interstate ramp at higher speeds. My 2008 had ultra smooth braking in all situations and I was hoping for at least the same on the 2012. Anyone else have the same shudder. I have a few little things I need to have fixed under warranty, so I will inquire about the brakes as well.

most likely a warped rotor

This is starting to happen to my 2012 Ram 1500. I have about 10,000 miles on it originally noticed the shudder under hard breaking about 2000 miles ago. It has probably happened about 5 times now. It doesn't seem to happen with strait line breaking (not sure), and only when the brakes are applied with turning (even slight turns/deviations). Last time it occurred was when I was turning into the driveway of a parking lot.

I have 8K on my 2012. I have smooth braking right up until I'm almost stopped--then and only then do I hear, more than feel a little grind. So at a stop sign I hear a little 'scrunch' right before I come to a stop.

Not too concerned.

Everything is buttery smooth on my 2012, I'm up to almost 19,000km now

You can take it to the dealer to see what they'll do. MOPAR brakes SUCK. There is little quality iron in the rotors. I've had warranteed rotors warranteed again the following week.
If you're in a position where you'll have to pay, go to Pep Boys, Auto Zone or anywhere but the stealership and buy ANY rotors that will fit, and they'll be an upgrade.

Good luck!
