problem #1

Ram 2500

  • 63,000 miles
The ABS sensor wire was damaged by contact with the right wheel. This caused the ABS system to believe that the wheel was not turning and engaged the ABS system making it impossible to engage the brakes. Speed was approximately 10 mph. This resulted in having to quickly engage the 2001 Ram 2500 into park. The truck crashed into the my garage door. If this happened in a traffic situation the results could have been very bad. If one of my children had been in the driveway this problem would have probably received more attention. This wire should not ever be able to come in contact with the wheel and the route is poorly planned.
