Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The e-brake on this vehicle does not hold even on a slight incline. When the truck is light with interior weight the e brake will not hold, so when it is heavy with equipment it is even worse. This is a hazard and can cause a serious accident. We have had this looked at several times by our ram promaster diesel mechanic and was told it was a "poor design" and there is nothing we can do. This issue has been happening since we purchased this truck new. |
