1999 Dodge Durango brake lockup issue

Apr 09, 2005 3 Replies

I have a 1999 5.9 litre Dodge Durango SLT that I purchased new. About 2 years ago...(very scary that this has been going on this long) I had brake work done (usual pads replaced rotors trued)also replaced all 4 tires (stock size) at a local shop. After this work was performed my brakes will sometimes lock up at slower speeds


It's not your imagination. I had the same problem on my 01 Ram. My other half used to bitch whenever it happened and tell me I didn't know how to drive. I told the bitch to shut up. The dealer said it was normal although an independent shop I took the truck to said I had a bad brake caliper.

I've just started noticing this too in my 2001 Dakota. They don't actually lock up, but after the truck's been sitting more than a day or two, they're *very* touchy. It seems to fade after I've been driving 10 minutes or so. Not sure if I have the same problem?

Did you replace the caliper, and if so, did it fix the problem?

I got into some really bad financial problems and had to sell the truck. (I was a police officer of 20 years and got hurt really bad on duty and was forced into early retirement) I never got the chance to fix the caliper.
