Brakes are terrible

Would be great if they would recall, re-design and fix the known HCU problem. Brakes don't work well period. Two went out before 50k miles, and I just listen to the constant dinging and put up with the constant flashing, because there is no fix and Ram refuses to help. I've bought a long list of Rams, Duangos and Chargers. Their warranties use to be great, now they are not and very hard to get any work done. Cummins is great, but hate the DEF next to the hole for diesel, and truck is getting dated. I might be switching brands.

Recall this HCU issue already!

Check the Forums, HCU failing as often as you change you oil, not covered by bumper to bumper warranty, 1k+ repair bill out of pocket, hundreds and hundreds of posts about this issue. Was always a Ram owner, probably never again!
