When I back up my truck the brake pads chatter while backing. But started when the truck had around 7000 miles on it. I have had it to the dealer and they stated the first visit that that is a normal thing that happens. I took it in a second time because it gift worse and they stated it was the material the pads are made of but have no fix for the problem.

While driving to work on a state highway the brakes on my vehicle failed. The vehicle is 10 months old and has ~8000 miles on it. The ABS activated while not applying the brakes. When I stepped on the brakes to slow the speed of the vehicle, the vehicle took much longer to slow down and or stop. After which, the ABS and traction control light came on. The light then began to come off and on without a pattern. The car was taken to the dealership and the ABS pump and ABS control module were replaced. This issue occurred without warning. If the conditions had been different, this loss in braking could have caused a serious accident.

Upon maximum emergency braking at any speed, the truck stops as if the brakes where wet, impossible to stop when towing a unloaded 16 foot utility trailer down hill it just keeps on going until you reach bottom. Taken to Dodge dealership they say it's normal but they say other trucks like Chevy 2500 can stop a train.
